Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chocolate Pudding Mix:
  • 2 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream
  • 7 piece Chocolate Cookies

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chocolate Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth. Refrigerate the pudding mixture for about 5 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
  • Prepare the Cookie Crumbs: While the pudding is chilling, crush the chocolate cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing the cookies in a food processor or by placing them in a Ziploc bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
  • Prepare the Pudding Mixture: Once the pudding has thickened, fold in the whipped cream or cream cheese until well combined. This will create a creamy and delicious base for your Dirt Cake.
  • Layer the Dirt Cake: In a large serving dish or bowl, start by creating a layer of the chocolate pudding mixture. Then, add a layer of the crushed cookies on top of the pudding mixture. Continue layering the pudding mixture and cookies until you've used up all of the ingredients, finishing with a layer of cookies on top.
  • Decorate with Gummy Worms: If desired, decorate the top of the Dirt Cake with gummy worms to give it a fun and playful appearance.
  • Chill in the Refrigerator: Cover the Dirt Cake with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate it for at least 2-3 hours, or until the pudding has set and the flavors have melded together.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, serve the Dirt Cake and enjoy the delicious combination of creamy pudding and chocolatey cookie crumbs.

Notes

  1. Variations: Feel free to get creative with your Dirt Cake by experimenting with different pudding flavors, such as vanilla or butterscotch. You can also try using different types of cookies for added variety.
  2. Texture: If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the crushed cookies into the pudding mixture instead of layering them separately.
  3. Garnishes: In addition to gummy worms, you can decorate your Dirt Cake with other toppings such as chocolate shavings, cookie crumbs, or fresh berries for added flavor and visual appeal.
