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
- Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until fully combined.
- Fold in the thawed whipped topping. Set aside.
- 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.
- Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
- 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.
- Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into individual serving cups.
- Layer the crushed cookies over the cream cheese mixture in each cup.
- Top with a final layer of crushed cookies.
- 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.
