You can make this easy, no-bake Oreo Dirt Cake quickly. It features creamy layers and crushed Oreos, making it a perfect, crowd-pleasing dessert for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 packages (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed (for layering)
  • 3 packages (14.3 ounces each) Oreo cookies, crushed

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Fold in one container of the thawed whipped topping. Set this cream cheese mixture aside.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about two minutes, until the mixture starts to thicken.
  3. Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the thickened chocolate pudding until you have a uniform, creamy mixture.
  4. Crush all three packages of Oreo cookies. You want a mix of fine crumbs and some slightly larger pieces for texture.
  5. Take about two-thirds of the crushed Oreos and gently fold them into the creamy chocolate mixture.
  6. In a large trifle dish or 9×13 inch pan, begin layering the dessert. Place half of the remaining crushed Oreos on the bottom.
  7. Spread half of the chocolate-Oreo mixture evenly over the cookie layer.
  8. Top the first cream layer with half of the remaining thawed whipped topping.
  9. Repeat the layers: remaining chocolate-Oreo mixture, followed by the rest of the whipped topping.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos over the top layer to resemble dirt.
  11. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set properly.

Notes

  • For the best texture, crush the Oreos in a food processor, but pulse briefly so you keep some small chunks.
  • If you plan to serve this for a party, you can make individual servings in small clear cups for a fun presentation.
  • This dessert tastes best when it has fully chilled, allowing the pudding layers to firm up.
