Celebrate Earth Day or any fun occasion with this creative and tasty Dirt Pudding! This dessert is not only visually appealing but also incredibly delicious. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients
- 2 boxes chocolate fudge pudding mix
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or 2 cups regular milk if using 1 box of pudding mix)
- 1/2 family pack of Oreos, crushed (creme scraped off)
- 1 tub Philadelphia cheesecake filling
- Haribo gummy worms
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 boxes of chocolate fudge pudding mix with 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk.
- Whisk together until the pudding mix is fully dissolved and the mixture starts to thicken.
- Add the Cheesecake Filling:
- Gently fold in the tub of Philadelphia cheesecake filling into the prepared pudding.
- Stir until the cheesecake filling is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Crush the Oreos:
- Scrape the creme filling off the Oreos and discard or save for another use.
- Place the Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin or pulse them in a food processor until they resemble dirt.
- Assemble the Dirt Pudding:
- Pour the pudding and cheesecake mixture into a large serving bowl or individual serving cups.
- Sprinkle the crushed Oreos evenly over the top to create the “dirt” layer.
- Refrigerate:
- Cover the bowl or cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
- Decorate and Serve:
- Before serving, top the dirt pudding with Haribo gummy worms, arranging them so they look like they are crawling out of the dirt.
- Dish into bowls or serve directly from the large bowl.
