How to make Easter Dirt Pudding Cups
- Empty the contents of the white chocolate pudding mix into a large mixing bowl. Add 2 cups of milk and whisk together until blended.

- Then, place the Oreo cookies in the food processor and pulse until the Oreos appear to be ground into a dirt-like consistency.

Then place another layer of ground oreo cookies over the pudding layer. Repeat again with a layer of pudding. Add as many layers as you would like that will fit into your dessert dish.

Tips Tricks and FAQs
- If you do not have a food processor you can crush your Oreos with a freezer bag and rolling pin. Just place your Oreos inside the bag and seal it. Be sure to remove most of the air, then roll over the cookies with your rolling pin.
- You can also use a piping bag to add your pudding mixture if you prefer.
- If you want to make a giant Easter Dirt Pudding dessert you can. You will need to double or triple the recipe and then use a trifle dish so it creates the same beautiful layers that you can see.
- You can swap out the flavor of the pudding if you prefer. We love to use the white chocolate pudding mix to keep the bright white for the layers, but any color/ flavor will work.
Tips & Tricks
- Use Clear Cups: Opt for clear cups or glasses to showcase the colorful layers of the dessert. This adds to the visual appeal and makes for a fun presentation, especially for Easter gatherings.
- Crush Cookies Evenly: When crushing cookies for the “dirt” layer, aim for a uniform texture. You can use a food processor for a fine crumb, or place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin for a coarser texture.
- Layering Technique: To create distinct layers, spoon alternating layers of pudding and crushed cookies into the cups. Use the back of the spoon to smooth each layer before adding the next one.
- Chill Before Serving: For the best texture and flavor, chill the pudding cups in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows the pudding to set and the flavors to meld together, resulting in a deliciously creamy dessert.
- Decorate Creatively: Let your creativity shine when decorating your Easter Dirt Pudding Cups. Arrange candy eggs, gummy worms, or other Easter-themed decorations on top of the pudding for a festive touch.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the pudding cups ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Just be sure to cover them tightly with plastic wrap to prevent any moisture from getting in.
- Customize Flavors: Experiment with different pudding flavors and toppings to suit your preferences. Try using vanilla pudding with crushed Oreo cookies for a cookies and cream variation, or add sliced strawberries for a fruity twist.

Storage
Easter Dirt Pudding Cups will typically last for up to 2-3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, they are best enjoyed within the first day or two for optimal freshness and texture.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can make this dessert ahead of time. You can make the pudding mixture up to 24 hours in advance and store it covered in the fridge. When you are ready to serve, you can assemble these cute dirt cup desserts. If you prefer to assemble the entire dessert ahead of time, I suggest doing this up to 4 hours in advance.
