Ingredients

• 2 packages (3.4 oz each) Chocolate instant pudding mix
• 4 cups Cold milk
• 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
• 4 tbsp Butter (softened)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 12 oz Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
• 16 whole cookies Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
• 12 pieces Gummy worms (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the pudding: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate instant pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk for 2 minutes until the pudding thickens. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Make the cream cheese mixture: In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer.

Step 3

Fold in the whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until completely combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped topping.

Step 4

Crush the cookies: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Set aside. (Alternatively, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.)

Step 5

Layer the dessert: In a 9x13-inch dish or individual serving cups, create layers starting with a layer of cookies, followed by the cream cheese mixture, then the prepared chocolate pudding. Repeat the layers, ending with a cookie crumb layer on top.

Step 6

Decorate: Place gummy worms on the top layer of cookie crumbs for a fun and playful touch.

Step 7

Chill the dessert: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve: Scoop the dessert into bowls or serve directly in the cups. Enjoy your delicious and whimsical Dirt Dessert!
