Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 1 package chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz)
  • 2 cups milk

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 1 package cream cheese (8 oz, softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 container whipped topping (8 oz)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 package Oreo cookies (15.5 oz, crushed)
  • Gummy worms for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chocolate Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened. Set aside.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until creamy and smooth.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
  4. Layer Oreos: Spread half of the crushed Oreo cookies evenly at the bottom of a casserole dish to form the first “dirt” layer.
  5. Add Cream Cheese Layer: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo cookie layer.
  6. Add Pudding Layer: Pour half of the prepared chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer, smoothing it out.
  7. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering with the remaining crushed Oreos, cream cheese mixture, and chocolate pudding evenly to build the dessert.
  8. Garnish: Decorate the top layer with gummy worms to give it a fun and festive appearance.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled casserole for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for a richer taste.
  • You can substitute the gummy worms with other colorful candy or sprinkles for decoration.
  • Make sure to crush the Oreos into small pieces but not powder to maintain texture.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator.
  • If desired, use sugar-free pudding mix and reduced sugar options to lower the sugar content.
