Make this simple, creamy Oreo Dirt Cake. It is a no-bake dessert layered with chocolate pudding, cream cheese, and crushed Oreos, perfect for parties or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 package (8 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix (for extra flavor)
  • Gummy worms for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush all Oreo cookies until they resemble fine dirt. Set aside about 1 cup of the crumbs for the top layer.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until fully combined.
  3. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix (both packages) and the cold milk until the pudding thickens, about 2 minutes.
  5. Gently fold the chocolate pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. To assemble the dirt cake, you can use a large trifle dish or individual cups (dirt cups).
  7. If using a large dish, spread half of the crushed Oreos on the bottom. Top with half of the creamy filling. Repeat with the remaining Oreos and filling, ending with a layer of filling.
  8. If making dirt cups, layer the crushed Oreos and creamy filling in each cup, ending with the filling on top.
  9. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crushed Oreo crumbs over the top layer to create the ‘dirt’ look.
  10. Press a few gummy worms into the top layer for decoration, if desired.
  11. Refrigerate the dirt cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the instant pudding with homemade chocolate custard for a richer flavor.
  • For individual dirt cups, this recipe works well for 8 to 10 servings.
  • Make this dessert a day ahead; it tastes better after chilling overnight.
