Dirt Cake Parfait Recipe
Description
Dirt Cake Parfait Recipe blends softened cream cheese and butter with powdered sugar, then folds in whipped topping for lightness. Mixing instant white chocolate pudding with milk creates a smooth, sweet base that is combined with the creamy mixture. Crushed Oreo cookies are layered alternately with the cream to add chocolate flavor and a crumbly texture that cuts through the richness. The parfait is assembled in cups or jars by layering cookie crumbs and cream mixture, finished with a whole Oreo on top. Refrigerating allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set for a balanced creamy and crunchy experience.
The dessert offers a nice contrast between the creamy, sweet pudding mixture and the slightly bitter chocolate cookie crumbs. It’s an effective way to serve a no-bake layered treat that can be portioned individually. The step to tap the filled jar on a cloth wipes out air bubbles and compresses the layers neatly.
The recipe can be assembled ahead and chilled until serving, making it convenient for gatherings or quick dessert preparation. Its creamy texture and chocolate crumb layers provide interest beyond a standard pudding or mousse.
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- 1 box instant white chocolate pudding mix or vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 leeves Oreo cookies
- Oreos extra, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by smashing up Oreos. I put mine in my food processor and blended until they were crumbs. Set aside.
- Mix cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar with mixer in a medium bowl. Fold in cool whip until well blended. In a separate bowl mix pudding mix and milk with a whisk. Once combined well, add pudding to cream cheese mixture.
- Place a few tablespoons of oreo crumbs in your cup or small jar. Add some of the creamy mixture (I do this by adding the creamy mixture to a gallon bag and cutting off the corner so it goes in the jar more easily.) Bang down on a wash cloth on the table to get all bubbles out. Add a few more tablespoons of oreo Crumbs. Top off with some more cream mixture and sprinkle on a few more crumbs. Top off with a whole Oreo on top.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
