Instructions
Make cookie crumbs by pulsing gluten free Oreos (filling included) in a food processor. If you don't have a food processor, you can add the cookies to a sturdy plastic bag and smush with a rolling pin. You should have fine crumbs that resemble dirt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix cream cheese with a hand mixer for about a minute until smooth and creamy.
Add chocolate pudding mix and milk to cream cheese and mix on low for a few minutes until thickened and smooth.
Fold in Cool Whip.
Assemble dirt cups by layering cookie crumbs and pudding mixture in small clear cups. Cup sizes obviously vary, so you will have 3-6 depending on the size you're using.
Start with about a ¼-inch layer of gluten free cookie crumbs, then about 1 ½-inch layer of pudding. Continue layering until the cup is full, ending with pudding.
Sprinkle a little bit of cookie crumbs and arrange 3 gummy worms on top.
Notes
Be sure to check all your labels to be sure ingredients are gluten free. Some gummy worms are not!
Use instant pudding mix, not cook and serve
I used 6 small glass yogurt jars, which is shown in the pictures. You can use any clear cup or dish.
Feel free to double or triple the recipe if you're making for a crowd. You can serve it in a trifle or cake dish.
Gluten free Oreos (Nabisco brand) are the best for flavor and texture. If you can't have oats, I recommend Glutino brand chocolate sandwich cookies.
To make vegan dirt cups: Use your favorite dairy-free cream cheese and a vegan pudding mix like Vivian's prepared with your choice of non-dairy milk. Use CocoWhip from So Delicious, or whatever you usually sub for whipped topping. Gluten free Oreos are naturally dairy-free.
