- Gummy worms or chocolate sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oreos
- Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing them with a rolling pin. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Mixture

Step 3: Prepare the Pudding
- In another large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Fold in the whipped topping until evenly combined.
Step 4: Combine the Fillings
- Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the pudding mixture until smooth and fully combined.
Step 5: Assemble the Dirt Cake
- In a 9×13-inch pan or a trifle dish, spread a layer of crushed Oreos to cover the bottom.
- Add half of the pudding-cream cheese mixture and spread it evenly.
- Add another layer of crushed Oreos, followed by the remaining pudding mixture.
- Finish with a final layer of crushed Oreos on top.
Step 6: Chill and Serve
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Garnish with gummy worms, chocolate sprinkles, or additional crushed Oreos if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
