Cookies and Cream Dirt Dessert w/ Gummy Worms (makes 12 servings)
DIETARY: Vegetarian
TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes
Ingredients
2 (3.4 oz) packages vanilla instant pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
8 oz cream cheese, softened
⅔ cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
10.5 oz chocolate vanilla sandwich crème cookies
Gummy worms
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk for 1–2 minutes until fully combined. Place in the fridge to chill while you proceed.
- In a separate bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and uniform.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. - Combine cream cheese mixture with the chilled pudding mixture until fully combined. Then, gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until smooth and fluffy.
- Crush cookies with a rolling pin until a coarse crumb forms or pulse briefly in a food processor.
- Spoon half of the cookie crumbs into the bottom of 12 serving dishes or a 9×13-inch pan. Top with the pudding mixture—if making individual cups, aim for a scant ½ cup of pudding per cup. Top with remaining cookie crumbs.
- Decorate with gummy worms and serve promptly.
