Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 2 packages (14.3 oz each) Oreo Cookies, roughly crushed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant pudding mix (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 8 oz Cool Whip or whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place Oreo cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin or heavy skillet until you have mostly small pieces with some larger chunks for texture. Set aside about 1 cup of the crushed Oreos for garnish later.
  2. Prepare the Pudding Mix: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk according to the package instructions. Whisk until the pudding is slightly thickened but not fully set. Set aside to firm up while you prepare the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the prepared pudding mix and then fold in the whipped topping to create a light, creamy filling perfect for layering.
  4. Layer the Oreo Dirt Cake: In your serving dish or individual cups, start with a layer of crushed Oreos. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on top. Repeat alternating layers until the dish is full, finishing with the reserved Oreo crumbs on top for garnish.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled Oreo Dirt Cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This chilling step helps the flavors meld and the texture set to the perfect creamy “dirt-like” consistency.

Notes

  • Use cold ingredients (pudding mix and whipped topping) straight from the fridge for best consistency.
  • Do not over-crush Oreos; leaving some larger chunks provides better texture contrast.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened at room temperature to avoid lumps in the mixture.
  • Chill longer if possible to develop flavors and firm up the cream layers.
  • Layer evenly for a balanced bite and beautiful presentation.
