Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Layer
- 1 package (5.1 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix (or vanilla for variation)
- 3 cups milk
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
Topping
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 1 package (14 oz) Oreos (regular or double-stuffed, crushed)
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract if using. Whisk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until well combined and smooth, creating a creamy base for the dessert.
- Layer with Oreos: In a large serving dish or individual cups, layer the pudding mixture with crushed Oreos, starting and ending with the crushed cookies to resemble dirt.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the Dirt Pudding directly from the dish or in cups, optionally garnished with additional Oreo crumbs or gummy worms for a fun effect.
Notes
- Use vanilla pudding mix instead of chocolate for a lighter variation.
- Double-stuffed Oreos add extra creaminess and texture.
- For a more decorative look, add gummy worms or candy rocks on top.
- Can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Use cold milk for faster pudding setting.
