A fun, easy, no-bake Easter dessert featuring layers of creamy chocolate pudding, crushed chocolate cookies, and gummy worms. Perfect for kids and family celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix (about 3.9 oz / 110g)
  • 2 cups cold milk (480 ml)
  • 1 cup whipped topping (240 ml)
  • About 20 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (Oreos or similar)
  • 1 package gummy worms (about 3.5 oz / 100g)
  • Optional: mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, chocolate syrup

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thick and smooth (about 2-3 minutes). Let it sit for 5 minutes to fully set.
  2. Place the chocolate sandwich cookies into a gallon-sized resealable bag. Seal tightly and crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or heavy pan. Set aside.
  3. Gently fold the whipped topping into the set pudding to lighten the texture. Avoid overmixing to keep it fluffy.
  4. Layer the dirt cups by spooning a layer of crushed cookies into the bottom of each cup, then add a layer of pudding mixture, followed by another cookie crumb layer. Repeat until cups are full, finishing with a cookie crumb layer on top.
  5. Add a few gummy worms on top of each cup, making them look like they are crawling out of the dirt.
  6. Refrigerate the dirt cups for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and pudding to set.

Notes

Chill pudding before assembling to avoid runny texture. Crush cookies finely for best dirt-like texture. Fold whipped topping gently to keep fluffiness. Add gummy worms just before serving to prevent them from getting soft. Best served the same day; can be refrigerated up to 2 days but cookie crumbs may soften.
