Oreo Dirt Cake
A creamy, no-bake chocolate dessert made with layers of crushed Oreos, chocolate pudding, and a rich cream cheese filling. Ready in minutes and even better after chilling overnight.
Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking dish
- Electric hand mixer
- Food processor or zip-lock bag
- Large mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies crushed fine
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 1/2 cups cold whole milk
- 12 oz frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip) thawed
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos in a food processor until fine. Set aside about 1 cup for the topping.
- Beat the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar together until completely smooth.
- Whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes, then let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture gently until combined.
- Fold the cream cheese mixture into the pudding mixture until fully blended.
- Layer crushed Oreos, then filling, then more Oreos in your dish. Repeat if space allows.
- Top with the reserved crushed Oreos to look like dirt.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Overnight is best.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Use a 9x13 dish for a classic dirt cake casserole style, or a trifle bowl for presentation.
- Add gummy worms to the top for a fun visual effect.
- Keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days, tightly covered.
