Description

Easter Pudding Dirt Cups are a fun and festive dessert featuring layers of creamy chocolate pudding mixed with whipped topping, crumbly chocolate sandwich cookies, and colorful gummy worms for a playful ‘dirt and worms’ effect. Easy to make and perfect for springtime celebrations or kids’ parties, this no-bake treat combines smooth pudding with crunchy cookie crumbs and sweet gummy candies.

Ingredients

Scale

Pudding Mixture

  • 1 package chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk

Cookie Crumbs

  • 1 package chocolate sandwich cookies

Whipped Topping Mixture

  • 4 ounces whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1 cup gummy worms

Instructions

  1. Mix Pudding: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of milk. Whisk the mixture for about 2 minutes until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
  2. Chill Pudding: Set the thickened pudding aside to chill in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes, allowing it to firm up a bit.
  3. Crush Cookies: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies into a large resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin or heavy object to crush them into fine crumbs. Set aside.
  4. Prepare Whipped Mixture: In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the whipped topping, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth and well blended.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Once the pudding has chilled, add the whipped topping mixture to it. Stir both together thoroughly until fully combined and smooth.
  6. Layer Dessert: Spoon a layer of the pudding mixture into the bottom of serving cups or bowls, then top with a layer of crushed cookie crumbs. Repeat layering until cups are filled, finishing with cookie crumbs on top.
  7. Add Gummy Worms: Place gummy worms decoratively on top of the final cookie layer, letting them drape over the edges for a fun effect.
  8. Final Chill: Refrigerate the assembled dirt cups for at least 1 hour to allow everything to set properly and flavors to meld.
  9. Serve: Once chilled, serve the Easter pudding dirt cups as a festive and playful dessert.

Notes

  • For best texture, chill the pudding before combining it with the whipped topping mixture.
  • Use a sturdy resealable plastic bag and a rolling pin to crush cookies evenly.
  • Feel free to substitute gummy worms with other candy for customization.
  • Can be assembled a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated until serving.
  • Use full-fat milk for creamier pudding or low-fat milk for a lighter version.
