creepy crawly dirt pudding recipe - A close-up of a creepy crawly dirt pudding cup with gummy worms

Creepy Crawly Dirt Pudding

A classic no-bake dessert featuring layers of chocolate pudding, cream cheese fluff, and crushed Oreo ‘dirt’, topped with gummy worms for a spooky effect.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 package (14.3 oz) Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (Oreos)
1 package (8 oz) Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup Butter, softened
1 cup Powdered Sugar
3 cups Cold Milk
2 packages (3.9 oz each) Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
1 container (12 oz) Whipped Topping (Cool Whip), thawed
1 package Gummy Worms

Instructions

Step 1: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they resemble coarse dirt. Set aside about 1/3 of the crumbs for the top layer.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mixes for 2 minutes until thickened. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the prepared chocolate pudding until well combined.
Step 5: In a large serving bowl or individual cups, layer the cookie crumbs followed by the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers, ending with a thick layer of cookie crumbs on top.
Step 6: Press gummy worms into the top ‘dirt’ layer so they look like they are crawling out. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the pudding mixture.
