Freshly prepared Classic Dirt Cake Delight

Classic Dirt Cake Delight is a rich, creamy dessert layered with chocolate cookie crumbs and a luscious cream filling, perfect for parties and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 15 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 1 cup (240ml) cold milk
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (480ml) cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • Gummy worms (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together cold milk and instant pudding mix until thickened. Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
  3. In another bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until smooth.
  6. Begin layering the dessert in a trifle dish or glass bowl: start with a layer of crushed Oreos, then a layer of the cream mixture. Repeat layers ending with crushed Oreos on top.
  7. Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Before serving, garnish with gummy worms if desired to enhance the ‘dirt’ theme.

Notes

For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts between layers or serve with fresh berries instead of gummy worms.
