This Oreo Dirt Cake is a no-bake, creamy, and chocolatey dessert that combines crushed Oreo cookies with a luscious pudding and cream cheese mixture.

Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 28 oz (about 3 packs) Oreo Cookies
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 2 cups Cold Milk
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened
  • 16 oz Whipped Topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding: Whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens, about 2 minutes. This creates the smooth and creamy base for the dessert.
  2. Beat the Cream Cheese and Butter: In a separate bowl, cream the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy, giving the cake a rich texture.
  3. Combine with Pudding and Whipped Topping: Fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture, then gently fold in the whipped topping to maintain a light and airy consistency.
  4. Crush the Oreos: Using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and some bigger chunks to achieve the authentic ‘dirt’ texture.
  5. Layer and Chill: Alternate layers of the creamy mixture with the Oreo cookie crumbs in a large glass dish or individual cups. Finish with a layer of crushed Oreos on top, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Notes

  • Use cold milk to help the pudding set quickly and maintain firmness.
  • Gently fold ingredients to keep the mixture light and airy—do not overmix.
  • Allow enough time for refrigeration; chilling improves flavors and texture.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother blending.
  • Save some Oreo crumbs for garnish to enhance presentation.
