Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 24 pcs Oreo cookies
- 2 cups chocolate pudding can use instant or prepared pudding
- 2 cups whipped cream or Cool Whip
Toppings
- Easter Peeps for decoration
- candy eggs (e.g., chocolate eggs or jelly beans) for decoration
- gummy worms (optional) for a fun touch
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by placing the Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them into fine crumbs, which should take about 5 minutes. Set these aside for later layers.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding with the whipped cream. Use a spatula or whisk until well combined and fluffy, which typically takes around 2-3 minutes.
Assembly
- In your chosen serving cups, layer the pudding mixture first, followed by a layer of the crushed Oreo crumbs. Repeat the process until the cups are filled, always finishing with a layer of the Oreo crumbs on top.
- Decorate the top of your cups with adorable Easter Peeps and candy eggs. This will make for a delightful presentation.
- If you’re feeling extra fun, toss in gummy worms on top for an amusing touch.
Chill
- Chill your Easter Dirt Cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Notes
These cups can be prepared ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Assemble layers a day in advance but wait to add fresh decorations until closer to serving. For a fun twist, consider using gluten-free Oreos for dietary adaptations.
