A quick and easy creamy dirt cake layered with chocolate pudding, cream cheese mixture, crushed chocolate cookies, and fun gummy worms. Perfect for kids’ parties and nostalgic family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk (whole or 2%)
  • 20 oz chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed
  • 1 package (about 4 oz) gummy worms

Instructions

  1. Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs with some small chunks remain. Set aside 1/2 cup of crumbs for topping.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let it set.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and beat again.
  4. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture until smooth, then fold in the whipped cream carefully to keep the mixture airy.
  6. Spread half of the cookie crumbs evenly in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Pour and spread the creamy pudding mixture over the cookie layer. Sprinkle remaining cookie crumbs on top.
  7. Arrange gummy worms on top of the cookie crumbs to look like they are crawling out of the dirt.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut whipped cream for a dairy-free version. Gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies can be used for gluten-free option. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Softened cream cheese is essential to avoid lumps. Whip cream to stiff peaks for best results. Folding whipped cream gently keeps the cake light and fluffy. Cookie crumbs can be prepared the night before to save time.
