Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk (whole milk preferred, or 2% or non-dairy substitute)
- 15 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1 cup gummy worms
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional)
- 6 clear cups
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with milk according to package instructions. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, put them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Start by spooning a layer of chocolate pudding into each clear cup. Follow with a layer of crushed cookies to resemble dirt.
- Nestle a few gummy worms into the ‘dirt’ layer so they peek out for a playful look.
- Add another layer of pudding, then top with more crushed cookies to finish off the dirt effect.
- For extra flair, add a dollop of whipped cream on top before adding the final gummy worm garnish.
- Chill the cups for about 15 minutes before serving to let the pudding set completely.
Notes
[‘Make sure the pudding is fully set before layering to avoid a runny consistency.’, ‘Crush the cookies finely for a realistic dirt effect, but leave a few larger chunks for texture.’, ‘Add gummy worms just before serving to keep them chewy and fresh.’, ‘Use a piping bag for the pudding if you want clean, even layers.’, ‘Consider using chocolate mousse instead of pudding for a richer, creamier cup.’]
