Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 24 classic Oreo cookies, crushed into small pieces (leaving some chunks for texture)

Pudding Mixture

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla or chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Crumbs: Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies into small pieces, leaving some chunks for texture. This will form the “dirt” layer, so make sure the crumbs are not too fine.
  2. Make the Pudding Mixture: Whisk the pudding mix with cold milk according to the package instructions until it thickens. This forms the creamy base of your dirt cake.
  3. Mix the Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and fluffy. This adds richness and a slight tang.
  4. Combine Whipped Topping and Cream Cheese: Fold the whipped topping gently into the cream cheese mixture. This will lighten the texture, making the dessert fluffy and smooth.
  5. Incorporate the Pudding: Carefully fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese and whipped topping blend until fully combined. The mixture should be creamy and well-blended.
  6. Assemble the Dirt Cake: In a large glass dish, layer half of the Oreo crumbs, then spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the crumbs. Repeat with the remaining Oreo crumbs and pudding mixture.
  7. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.

Notes

  • Use chilled ingredients to make mixing easier and improve texture.
  • Gently fold ingredients to keep the mixture light and airy; don’t over-mix.
  • Save some Oreo crumbs for topping and sprinkle them on just before serving.
  • Refrigerate overnight if possible for best flavor and texture.
  • Use a clear glass dish or trifle bowl to showcase the layers beautifully.
