Print Recipe

If you’re looking for a festive and delicious Easter dessert, these Easter Dirt Cups are the perfect treat!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pudding Layer:

  • 2 cups cold milk

  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix

  • 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed

For the Oreo Dirt Layer:

  • 18 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs

For the Easter Decorations:

  • 12 Peeps marshmallow bunnies or chicks

  • ½ cup shredded coconut (optional)

  • 2 drops green food coloring (for grass effect)

  • ½ cup chocolate eggs (Cadbury Mini Eggs, M&M’s, or jelly beans)

  • 12 clear plastic cups (8 oz size)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Pudding

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cold milk and chocolate pudding mix for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Fold in the whipped topping gently until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 2: Crush the Oreo Cookies

Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, put them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Step 3: Color the Coconut (Optional)

If you want a grass effect, place shredded coconut in a small bowl. Add 2 drops of green food coloring and mix until the coconut turns green.

Step 4: Assemble the Dirt Cups

Spoon 2 tablespoons of crushed Oreos into the bottom of each cup. Add a layer of chocolate pudding on top. Repeat the layers until the cups are full, finishing with a generous sprinkle of Oreo crumbs on top.

Step 5: Decorate for Easter

Place a Peeps bunny or chick on top of each cup. Sprinkle with colored coconut to create a grassy look. Add chocolate eggs or jelly beans around the Peeps for extra Easter flair.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors set. Enjoy these adorable Easter desserts with family and friends!

Notes

✔ Use Cold Milk – Helps the pudding thicken faster.
✔ Crush Oreos Finely – Creates a realistic dirt texture.
✔ Let the Pudding Set – Chilling helps the flavors meld together.
