A fun, creamy, and playful dessert featuring layers of vanilla pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms, perfect for kids’ parties and family treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packages (3.4 oz / 96g each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups (720ml) cold milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, whipped
  • 30 Oreo cookies, crushed finely
  • 1 package (5 oz / 142g) gummy worms

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vanilla Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk (3 cups / 720ml) until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  2. Whip the Heavy Cream: While pudding sets, beat 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Fold the Cream into the Pudding: Gently fold the whipped cream into the thickened pudding using a spatula, maintaining as much airiness as possible.
  4. Crush the Oreos: Place 30 Oreo cookies in a ziplock bag and crush finely with a rolling pin or pulse briefly in a food processor until crumbs resemble moist soil with some crunchy bits.
  5. Assemble the Dirt Pudding Cups: Start with a layer of crushed Oreos (about 2 tablespoons) at the bottom of each cup. Add a generous spoonful of creamy pudding on top, smoothing it out. Repeat layers until cups are almost full, ending with a final Oreo crumb layer.
  6. Add Gummy Worms: Tuck a few gummy worms halfway into the top ‘dirt’ layer, letting them peek out playfully.
  7. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cups for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld and pudding set perfectly. Serve chilled.

Notes

Do not overmix the pudding to maintain creaminess. Whip cream to stiff peaks for best texture. Leave some Oreo crumbs chunkier for surprise crunch. Chill at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor. Add gummy worms just before serving to keep them fresh. For dairy-free, substitute milk and cream with coconut milk and coconut cream, and use vegan gummy worms.
