Print Recipe

Dirt pudding cups are easy recipes that are fun for parties, fun back to school treats, or theme parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cold whole milk
  • 1 package instant chocolate pudding (3.9 or 4 ounce package)
  • 8 ounces frozen whipped topping like Cool Whip, thawed
  • 16 chocolate sandwich cookies like Oreos, crushed
  • 20 gummy worms or sour gummy worms (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk milk and pudding until pudding is dissolved. Set aside to thicken (about 5 minutes).
  2. Place sandwich cookies into a resealable bag. Seal bag. Using a wood kitchen mallet or wood spoon, crush the cookies to a fine consistency (until it looks like dirt). Set aside.
  3. Once pudding has thickened, fold whipped topping into the chocolate pudding. Stir.
  4. Add 1/2 of the crushed cookies to the pudding mixture. Gently stir.
  5. Spoon pudding mixture into individual cups. Chill for at least 60 minutes (or until ready to serve).
  6. Remove pudding cups from refrigerator. Sprinkle top of each cup with remaining crushed cookies for the “dirt.” Gently press gummy worms into top of mixture (optional, but awesome).
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

The cookie crushing is one of the most fun parts of this recipe for kids! Set aside your food processor for this recipe and let the kids whack away at the bag of cookies! They’ll have a blast!
The serving size for this will depend on the size of cup you use. We used small orange juice glasses and got 6 cups out of this.
