Ingredients

For the Cream Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 (3.4 oz) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, thawed

For the Chocolate “Dirt”:

3 cups chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
1/2 cup reserved for topping

For Decoration:

Gummy worms
Edible flowers or candy flowers
Mini chocolate shavings (optional)

Optional Pots or Cups:

Small terracotta or plastic flower pots
Mason jars or clear dessert cups

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Cream Filling

Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth in a large bowl.
Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes. Let it set for 5 minutes.
Fold pudding into the cream cheese mixture.

2. Fold in Whipped Topping

Gently fold in the whipped topping until creamy and light.

3. Assemble the Flower Pot Pudding

Spoon a layer of cream mixture into each pot, jar, or cup.
Sprinkle a layer of crushed cookies on top.
Repeat layers if your container is tall, finishing with cookie crumbs on top.

4. Decorate

Add gummy worms, candy flowers, or edible flowers to create a garden look.
Optional: sprinkle chocolate shavings for extra texture.

5. Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the dessert to set.
Serve chilled for a creamy, playful dessert.

Tips for the Perfect Flower Pot Pudding

Use full-fat cream cheese and butter for the richest texture.
Choose edible flowers that are safe to eat.
Crush cookies by hand for chunkier “dirt” or pulse in a food processor for finer texture.
Make ahead—the dessert is even better after chilling.

Variations to Try

Chocolate Pudding Version: Use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla for richer “dirt.”
Mini Cup Version: Serve in mason jars or small cups for individual portions.
Fruity Garden: Add slices of strawberries or kiwi for colorful layers.
Peanut Butter Twist: Swirl peanut butter into the cream mixture for extra flavor.
