Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 36 Oreo Cookies (about 3 packs, for crushing and layering)
  • 8 oz (225 g) Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 3 cups Milk
  • 12 oz Whipped Topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until the mixture thickens, approximately 2 minutes, creating a smooth and creamy pudding base.
  2. Mix the Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for the perfect consistency.
  3. Combine and Fold: Gently fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture, then carefully fold in the whipped topping. This process creates a light, fluffy, and luscious filling with a rich texture.
  4. Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin or pulse in a food processor until you achieve a dirt-like texture with some chunky bits for added bite.
  5. Layer the Dirt Cake: In your chosen serving dish or individual cups, start with a layer of crushed Oreos, then add a layer of the creamy filling. Repeat alternating layers until the dish is full, finishing with a generous layer of Oreo crumbs to mimic the classic dirt cake appearance.
  6. Chill and Set: Cover the assembled dirt cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up perfectly.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for a smooth texture and richer taste.
  • Let cream cheese soften to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Do not over-crush Oreos; keep some chunks for better texture variety.
  • Chill the cake thoroughly to allow pudding to set well and flavors to blend.
  • Alternate the thickness of Oreo crumbs and cream layers for a visually appealing presentation.
