Ingredients

  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 3.9 ounce chocolate pudding mix small box
  • 1 ½ cups milk I used whole milk
  • 4 oz Cool Whip thawed (half small tub)
  • 12 gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies filling included (I used gf Oreos)
  • 12 gluten-free gummy worms I used Albanese

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.
