No-Bake Oreo Dirt Cake

No-Bake Oreo Dirt Cake

A no-bake dessert combining creamy, fluffy filling with crunchy Oreo cookie layers, creating a fun, kid-friendly treat that requires no oven and is perfect for parties or quick family desserts.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Oreo Cookies (about 30-40 cookies)
  • Cream Cheese (8 oz, softened)
  • Whipped Topping (8 oz, thawed)
  • Instant Pudding Mix (1 package, 3.4 oz, vanilla or chocolate flavor)
  • Milk (2 cups)
  • Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Base: Crush about two-thirds of the Oreo cookies into small pieces. These crushed cookies will be used as the crunchy bottom layer and the topping. Keep the remaining cookies whole or halved for layering and garnish.
  2. Make the Creamy Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the instant pudding mix and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to create a thick yet fluffy batter. Carefully fold in the whipped topping to keep the mixture light and airy.
  3. Assemble the Layers: In a large serving dish or individual cups, place a generous layer of crushed Oreos at the bottom. Spread a thick layer of the creamy filling over the crushed cookies. Repeat the layering process, ending with a sprinkle of Oreo crumbs on top for the classic dirt cake appearance.
  4. Chill and Set: Cover the assembled cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the pudding filling to firm up for the perfect texture.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, crumble a few additional Oreo pieces or add gummy worms on top for a playful ‘dirt’ effect. Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy and crunchy textures.

Notes

  • Use full-fat ingredients for a richer and creamier texture.
  • Fold in the whipped topping gently to keep the filling light and fluffy.
  • Allow adequate chilling time to ensure the pudding sets properly.
  • Customize Oreo crush size for varied texture—larger pieces add crunch, fine crumbs add smoothness.
  • Keep the dessert refrigerated until serving for best taste and consistency.
