For the Pudding
- 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
For the Dirt Cups
- 15 Oreo cookies, crushed into dirt-like crumbs
- 1 cup whipped topping (store-bought or homemade)
- Gummy worms (optional, for garnish)
- Mix the pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. This will create a smooth, creamy pudding base.
- Crush the Oreos: Place Oreo cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin until they resemble fine dirt-like crumbs. This adds the signature crunchy texture to the dirt cups.
- Layer the dirt cups: In serving cups or bowls, start with a layer of crushed Oreos, followed by a layer of prepared pudding, then a layer of whipped topping. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled or ingredients are used up, ending with a top layer of Oreo crumbs.
- Top with gummy worms: Decorate each dirt cup with gummy worms for the classic look and added fun. This step is optional but highly recommended.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the assembled dirt cups for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the pudding to firm up. Alternatively, enjoy immediately if you can’t wait!
Notes
- For best results, use cold milk to ensure the instant pudding thickens properly.
- You can make your own whipped topping or use a store-bought variety based on preference.
- Feel free to add extra crushed Oreos on top for garnish and crunch.
- Gummy worms are optional but provide a fun and nostalgic touch.
- These dirt cups can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
