Make this easy, no-bake Oreo Dirt Cake. It features creamy layers, crushed Oreos for ‘dirt,’ and is a perfect crowd-pleasing dessert for parties or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
  • 2 packages (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies, finely crushed (about 35 cookies)
  • 1 bag gummy worms (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Fold in half of the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and the cold milk for about two minutes until the mixture thickens.
  4. Gently fold the thickened chocolate pudding into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Crush the Oreo cookies until they resemble fine dirt. You can do this in a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
  6. In a large trifle dish or individual serving cups, begin layering the ingredients. Start with a layer of crushed Oreos on the bottom.
  7. Top the Oreo layer with half of the creamy chocolate mixture.
  8. Add another layer of crushed Oreos over the cream mixture.
  9. Spread the remaining half of the chocolate cream mixture on top of the second Oreo layer.
  10. Top the entire dessert with the remaining crushed Oreos to create the ‘dirt’ layer.
  11. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set.
  12. Before serving, press the gummy worms into the top layer of ‘dirt’ for decoration.

Notes

  • For individual servings, use clear plastic cups to show off the layers.
  • If you do not have time to soften the butter and cream cheese, you can use an electric mixer on medium speed to speed up the process.
  • Reserve a few whole or half Oreos to place on top for extra texture contrast.
