Description

Rich, creamy, crunchy, and irresistibly nostalgic—Oreo Dirt Cake is the ultimate no-bake dessert that everyone from kids to adults can’t resist.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Oreo Layer:

1 family-size package of Oreos (about 36 cookies), crushed into crumbs

For the Creamy Filling:

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2 (3.9 oz) packages instant vanilla pudding mix

2 ¾ cups cold milk

1 (12 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for added flavor)

Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Oreos

Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a processor, place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Layer

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until fully combined and fluffy.

Step 3: Prepare the Pudding

In a separate bowl, whisk the pudding mixes with cold milk until smooth and thickened. Let it sit for 3–5 minutes.

Step 4: Combine and Fold

Add the pudding to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth. Gently fold in the Cool Whip to create a light, fluffy filling.

Step 5: Assemble the Cake

In a 9×13-inch baking dish or a large trifle bowl, layer crushed Oreos on the bottom. Add half the pudding mixture, then repeat the layers, ending with Oreo crumbs on top.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) before serving. The longer it sits, the better the layers meld together.

Notes

Use instant pudding for a quick, thick base

Let the Cool Whip thaw fully to avoid lumps

Layer Oreo crumbs generously for that signature dirt look
