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