🎂 Classic No-Bake Dirt Cake

This recipe is typically served in a large bowl or a trifle dish to show off the layers, though you can use a 9x13 inch pan.2

🍽️ Ingredients

"Dirt" Layer

  • 1 package ($14.3 \text{ oz}$ or about 36 cookies) of Oreo cookies, finely crushed (or use a similar chocolate sandwich cookie).

Creamy Filling Layer

  • 1 package (3$8 \text{ oz}$) cream cheese, softened.4

  • $\frac{1}{2}$ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened.

  • 1 cup powdered sugar.5

  • 2 packages (6$3.4 \text{ oz}$ each) instant vanilla pudding mix (or substitute chocolate pudding for a richer flavor).7

  • 3 cups cold milk (whole milk recommended).8

  • 1 container (9$12 \text{ oz}$) frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed.10

Garnish (Optional)

  • Gummy worms (for the "dirt" effect).11

  • Small, clean flower pots for individual serving.12


🔪 Instructions

1. Prepare the "Dirt"

  1. Place the Oreo cookies (filling included) into a food processor and pulse until they resemble fine dirt crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

  2. Set the crushed cookies aside.

2. Make the Creamy Filling

  1. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.13 Set this mixture aside.

  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.14

  3. Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture until no streaks remain.

  4. Fold the cream cheese mixture into the pudding/whipped topping mixture until everything is well combined and smooth.

3. Layer the Cake

  1. Choose your container: a 9x13 inch dish, a trifle bowl, or individual small pots.

  2. Spread a layer of the crushed Oreo "dirt" on the bottom of the dish (use about one-quarter of the crumbs).

  3. Carefully spoon half of the creamy filling over the crumb layer.

  4. Add another layer of crushed Oreo "dirt" (about another quarter of the crumbs).

  5. Spoon the remaining half of the creamy filling over the top.

  6. Finish by spreading the remaining Oreo "dirt" evenly over the top layer of filling.

4. Chill and Serve

  1. Refrigerate the Dirt Cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely and the cookies to soften slightly.15

  2. Just before serving, decorate the top with gummy worms to complete the "dirt" garden look!

Enjoy your fun and easy dessert!
