Description

A simple, tasty dessert made to look like dirt, perfect for Halloween.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 packages (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 package (14.3 ounces) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
  • Gummy worms for garnish

Instructions

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until fully combined.
  3. Fold in the thawed whipped topping. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for two minutes. Let the pudding sit for five minutes to thicken.
  5. Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin until they resemble fine dirt. Reserve a small amount for topping.
  7. Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into individual serving cups.
  8. Layer the crushed cookies over the cream cheese mixture in each cup.
  9. Top with a final layer of crushed cookies.
  10. Insert a few gummy worms into the top layer of ‘dirt’ before serving.

Notes

  • You can make these cups a day ahead of time; cover and refrigerate.
  • Use any small, clear cup or jar for the individual servings.
  • If you do not have a food processor, place cookies in a sturdy plastic bag and crush them with a heavy object.
