Description

Easter Pudding Dirt Cups are a fun and festive dessert perfect for spring celebrations. Layers of creamy chocolate pudding mixed with whipped topping are combined with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies that resemble dirt, topped with gummy worms for a playful touch. This no-bake, easy-to-make dessert is a delightful treat for both kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pudding

  • 1 package chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk

For the Dirt Layer

  • 1 package chocolate sandwich cookies

For the Whipped Mixture

  • 4 ounces whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish

  • 1 cup gummy worms

Instructions

  1. Make the Pudding: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of milk. Whisk the mixture for about 2 minutes or until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
  2. Chill the Pudding: Once thickened, set the pudding aside to chill in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes to firm up.
  3. Crush the Cookies: While the pudding chills, place the chocolate sandwich cookies into a large resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin or another heavy object to crush the cookies until they resemble fine crumbs. Set aside.
  4. Prepare Whipped Mixture: In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the whipped topping, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
  5. Combine Pudding and Whipped Topping: Once the pudding has chilled, add the whipped topping mixture to the pudding. Stir well until fully combined and smooth.
  6. Assemble the Dirt Cups: Spoon a layer of the pudding mixture into serving cups or bowls. Add a layer of crushed cookie crumbs on top of the pudding. Repeat layering pudding and cookie crumbs until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of cookie crumbs on top.
  7. Add the Gummy Worms: Gently place gummy worms on top of the final cookie crumb layer, allowing them to drape over the edges of the cups for decoration.
  8. Chill Before Serving: Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow everything to set properly and flavors to meld.
  9. Serve: Once chilled, your Easter pudding dirt cups are ready to serve. Enjoy this fun and festive dessert!

Notes

  • Use full-fat whipped topping for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  • The pudding mix can be prepared with any milk (dairy or non-dairy) depending on dietary preferences.
  • To crush cookies evenly, allow them to come to room temperature before crushing.
  • For added fun, you can add candy eyeballs or mini chocolate chips as additional decoration.
  • Make these cups a few hours ahead of time to let the layers set well and enhance the taste.
