    Happy Dessert Day!

    Enjoy your time with these cool Oreo dirt puddings!

    One reason I started my blog journey was to share easy recipes and help families create memories through meals like those that my family has done over the years. Oreo Dirt Pudding Recipe is a prime example of creating amazing memories through meals.

    I also love this recipe because it is the perfect No Bake Dessert and the summer heat is right around the corner. It is so delicious, rich, and creamy. I have tried this recipe for my family members; they loved it! Hope your family loves it as much as mine does!

    I cannot believe that the first time I made Oreo Dirt Pudding Recipe was almost 15 years ago. It is such a funny story! My cousin’s son was turning 15 in April. We both love Oreos and just had to make this recipe for Christmas.

    We stayed up all night crushing Oreos in a zip-lock bag because we did not have a food processor. Can you believe it? We were so determined to make it and we did. Here it is! 15 years later and my cousins are still asking: Trina did you make the Oreo stuff? Lol!


    Why Is Oreo Dirt Pudding Special?

    Oreo Dirt Pudding is a unique combination of crunchy and creamy texture. It is an easy dirt pudding recipe made in simple steps with no need to turn the oven on.

    This cool dessert is also one of the best options to make for kids. It is sweet and creamy, and you can decorate it with colored gummy worms.

    How to Serve Oreo Dirt Pudding?

    Dirt Pudding Recipe is made during Halloween and other holidays, so it is a perfect choice for any occasion. It is often served by adding gummy worms.

    My favorite way to serve Dirt Pudding is by setting it in glass trifle bowls to see all the different layers! You can also use a 9 x 13-inch pan, and spread thin pudding and Oreo layers; this way you will get a dirt cake.

    One of the funniest ways to serve Oreo Dirt Pudding is in a cute sand pail topped with colored gummy worms. Another best way to serve Dirt Pudding is to make them in individual cups, especially at birthday parties and kids’ gatherings.

    Give your cups an extra decorative flair by placing mini garden tools or edible flowers on top for a more garden-like appearance. You can adapt this dessert to match the theme of your special event. Be creative and create a unique memorable treat!


    Oreo Dirt Pudding Substitutions

    Milk: In this recipe, you can use any kind of milk.

    Cool Whip: There is no difference between whipped topping brands; any brand you use is fine.

    Butter: To make this recipe, you can use salted or unsalted butter. Peanut butter works well too.

    Pudding: If you love chocolate flavor, use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla. You can also use homemade pudding. It is a good option because you can adjust its sweetness and flavor to your liking.

    Oreo cookies: You can use regular Oreo cookies. You can enrich the flavor with Doule Stuf Oreos or you can explore the taste of limited-edition flavors for a fun surprise.

    Tips and Tricks

    Here are some beneficial tips to make Oreo Dirt Recipe even better.

    If you use homemade whipped cream instead of whipped topping, pay attention that it will not hold up as long in the refrigerator.

    Oreo Dirt Pudding Cups will have better flavor if they are prepared the night before.

    To make the “dirty layer” darker, you can add black food gel to the pudding mixture till you get the darkness you desire.

    If you do not have a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a resealable plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin or the back of a spoon to get the crumb-like texture.
