Ingredients
- 4 oz chocolate pudding mix
- 1 ¾ cup whole milk
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 13 Oreo cookies crushed
- 6 gummy worms
Instructions
Prepare the Pudding:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk and egg yolks until well blended. Add the chocolate pudding mix and continue whisking until there are no lumps.
Cook the Mixture:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the pudding begins to bubble. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect pudding consistency!
- Once bubbling, reduce the heat and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in the tablespoon of butter until fully melted and combined. Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature.
Assemble Your Dessert:
- Grab your favorite glass serving cups (this is where the fun begins!). Start by adding a few spoonfuls of your luscious chocolate pudding to the bottom.
- Next, add a generous layer of crushed cookies to create the “dirt.” Repeat the layers, alternating between pudding and cookies, until your cups are filled to the top—don’t hold back on the layers!
Decorate with Gummy Worms:
- For the final touch, add some adorable gummy worms on the top layer of crushed cookies. Feel free to get creative—let those gummy worms wiggle and peek out!
Chill and Serve:
- For the best experience, allow the Chocolate Dirt Pudding to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld and creates a refreshing contrast of textures—a delight for your taste buds!
Notes
- Use a food processor or blender, rolling pin, or even a zip-top bag to crush the cookies into fine crumbs. For added texture, consider leaving some larger pieces.
- Besides crushed cookies, consider adding gummy worms, whipped cream, or edible flowers for decoration and extra fun, especially for kids’ parties.
- Clear cups or jars can showcase the layers beautifully, making the dessert not only delicious but also visually appealing.
- This dessert is great to make a day in advance. It allows the flavors to meld, and you’ll have one less thing to worry about on the day you plan to serve it.
- To experiment, you can add a hint of coffee or vanilla extract to the pudding for a richer flavor. Just a teaspoon can elevate the overall taste.
