How to make Dirt Pudding Dessert

Crush up your Oreos(or your favorite chocolate sandwich cookies) for your crunchy layer. Mix together the cream cheese, vanilla pudding, and whipped topping to get your creamy layer. Layer this deliciousness in a 9×13 baking pan. Chill in your refrigerator. Relax and Enjoy!!

This dessert recipe is meant to be easy to make and enjoy! We make this dirt dessert recipe because the pudding and cream cheese mixture sets up nice and thick. No soupy dessert here! If your pudding isn’t setting up pop it in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to help it along before mixing it with the cream cheese.

Tip: There are never leftovers. So take a little or a lot but don’t expect leftovers. This pan always comes back empty. Kids LOVE this dessert!

Bring Oreo Dirt Pudding to any occasion like bbqs, family gatherings, and holiday parties. You can’t go wrong!

  • Step 1: A layer of crushed Oreos in 9x13in pan.
  • Step 2: Add a layer of the cream cheese, vanilla pudding and whipped topping mixture on top of the crushed Oreos.
  • Step 3: Add another layer of Oreo, the final layer of cream cheese mixture, and top with remaining Oreos. Chill.

Add additional fun by placing gummy worms in the pudding. A kid-friendly treat even adults can appreciate!
