Creamy Oreo Dirt Cups are a nostalgic, party-ready dessert featuring layers of chocolate pudding, cream cheese, whipped topping, and crushed Oreos. Perfect for graduation parties, potlucks, or any celebration, these cups are quick to assemble and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip or similar)
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies (regular, not Double Stuf)
  • Graduation picks (optional, for decoration)
  • Gummy worms (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, crush cookies in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Let sit for 5 minutes to fully set.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar using a hand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the prepared pudding to the cream cheese mixture and beat together until fully combined and silky.
  5. Gently fold in the whipped topping with a rubber spatula until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of Oreo crumbs into the bottom of each clear cup. Add a generous layer of the creamy mixture (about 1/3 cup), then another layer of Oreo crumbs. Repeat until the cup is full, finishing with Oreo crumbs on top.
  7. Insert a graduation pick and/or gummy worm into each cup for decoration, if desired.
  8. Refrigerate the cups for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.

Notes

For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, use gluten-free Oreos and dairy-free cream cheese/milk. Homemade whipped cream can be substituted for whipped topping. Chill for at least 1 hour for best texture. Can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Do not freeze.
