Description
Easter Dirt Cups are a fun, kid-friendly dessert that features layers of creamy pudding, crumbled chocolate cookies, and colorful candy eggs. A perfect treat for your Easter celebration or any springtime gathering!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3.9 oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 (8 oz) tub of whipped topping (Cool Whip)
- 15–20 chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos), crushed
- 1/2 cup gummy worms (optional for the “dirt” effect)
- 1/2 cup candy eggs (mini chocolate eggs or candy-coated eggs for decoration)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, to sweeten the whipped topping)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens (about 2 minutes).
- Gently fold in the whipped topping to the pudding mixture, mixing until smooth.
- In each serving cup or bowl, layer a spoonful of the pudding mixture at the bottom.
- Sprinkle a layer of crushed chocolate cookies on top of the pudding layer (this will mimic the “dirt”).
- Repeat the pudding and crushed cookie layers until the cups are filled, ending with a layer of crushed cookies on top.
- Garnish with gummy worms (if using) and colorful candy eggs for a festive Easter touch.
- Refrigerate the dirt cups for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For a fun twist, you can also add other Easter-themed candy, such as jelly beans or marshmallow bunnies.
- You can use different types of cookies, like chocolate graham crackers, for variety.
- For a healthier version, substitute the chocolate pudding with vanilla or sugar-free pudding.
