You need this easy, no-bake Oreo Dirt Cake recipe for your next gathering. It features creamy layers of chocolate pudding and whipped topping mixed with crushed Oreos for a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies, divided
  • 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Set aside about 1 cup of whole or crushed Oreo cookies for the topping. Place the remaining Oreos into a large zip-top bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin or food processor.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  4. Fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating the creamy filling.
  5. In a large trifle dish or 9×13 inch pan, begin layering. Place half of the crushed Oreos on the bottom.
  6. Spread half of the creamy chocolate mixture evenly over the cookie layer.
  7. Repeat the layers: add the remaining crushed Oreos, followed by the remaining creamy mixture.
  8. Spread the reserved 1 cup of crushed Oreos evenly over the top layer to resemble ‘dirt’.
  9. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set properly.

Notes

  • For the best texture, make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
  • You can assemble this dessert in individual clear cups for fun, themed desserts for kids.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream when making the pudding.
