Ingredients

  • 13.29 ounces (377g) chocolate sandwich cookies such as Oreos
  • 4 cups (946ml) cold milk
  • 6.8 ounces (192g) instant white chocolate pudding mix two 3.4-ounce boxes
  • 8 ounces (226g) whipped topping thawed
  • Red and blue food coloring
  • festive sprinkles
  • gummy stars

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the sandwich cookies into a food processor and mix until the cookies are crushed to a dirt-like consistency.
  2. Prepare the pudding in a large bowl by whisking together milk and pudding mix until smooth.
  3. Portion out the pudding equally into three bowls. Add red food dye to one bowl, add blue food dye to another, and leave one bowl white.
  4. Divide the whipped topping between the pudding bowls and gently fold to incorporate.
  5. Fill your serving cups by layering cookie crumbs, blue pudding, cookie crumbs, white pudding, cookie crumbs, red pudding, and then finishing with a final layer of cookie crumbs.
  6. Top each dessert cup with sprinkles and gummy stars just before serving.

Notes

  • Use a food processor or place the cookies in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are finely ground. This will give you the perfect "dirt" texture for your dessert.
  • When layering the cookie crumbs and pudding, press down gently with a spoon to compact the layers. 
  • If time allows, chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the pudding to set and the flavors to meld together for a better taste and texture.
  • Have fun decorating your dirt cups with festive sprinkles, gummy stars, or other decorations. Let your imagination run wild!
  • Serving the dirt cups in clear cups allows you to see the layers and makes for a fun presentation
  • Storage - You can prepare the dirt cups several hours or even a day in advance. Simply cover them with plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. Be sure not to add sprinkles and the gummy stars until you're ready to serve.
