Ingredients

• 36 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 3.9-ounce packets Instant vanilla pudding mix
• 3.5 cups Milk
• 12 ounces Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
• 10 pieces Gummy worms (optional, for decoration)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes, until thickened.

Step 5

Fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture until thoroughly combined and smooth.

Step 6

Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Layer the dessert in a 9x13-inch dish or individual serving cups. Start with a layer of crushed cookies at the bottom, followed by a layer of the creamy pudding mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of crushed cookies on top.

Step 8

Optionally, decorate the top with gummy worms for a playful dirt-and-worms theme.

Step 9

Refrigerate the dirt cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy!
