Ingredients
For the Dirt Pudding
- 16 Oreos, crushed into fine crumbs
- 4 cups (32 oz) fat free milk, cold (recommendation: Fairlife)
- 2 (1.4 oz) boxes sugar-free chocolate pudding mix
- 8 oz lite whipped topping, thawed
For Topping
- 24 gummy worms
- Optional: any other toppers like plastic shovels or candy pumpkins
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreos into a large ziplock bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or pulse them in a food processor until well crushed.
- Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar-free chocolate pudding mix with the cold fat free milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow it to thicken properly.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed lite whipped topping into the thickened pudding using a spatula, combining them evenly to create a creamy texture.
- Assemble first layer: Take eight 8-ounce cups and add about 1/3 cup of the pudding mixture into each cup, distributing approximately one-third of the pudding evenly. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of the crushed Oreos on top of the pudding layer.
- Assemble second layer: Add the remaining pudding mixture as a second layer into each cup, then top with the rest of the crushed Oreos evenly divided among the cups.
- Add gummy worms and decorations: Place three gummy worms on top of each cup and add any optional decorations such as plastic shovels or candy pumpkins to enhance the presentation.
- Chill and serve: For best results, chill the assembled dirt cake cups in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow them to set well and serve cold.
Notes
- Use fat free milk and sugar-free pudding mix to keep the dessert lighter in calories and sugar.
- Crushing Oreos finely enhances the dirt appearance and makes the dessert easier to eat.
- Chilling for at least 2 hours is recommended for optimal texture and flavor.
- Optional decorations make this dessert a festive choice for Halloween or themed parties.
- Can be prepared a day in advance and stored covered in the fridge.
