Ingredients
- 1 3.9 oz package chocolate pudding
- 2 cups cold milk
- 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
- 8-10 drops green food coloring, optional
- 15 mint oreos (finely crushed); divided
- 8 gummy worms
- 8 9 oz clear plastic cups
Instructions
- PUDDING: In a large bowl beat the pudding mix and milk together for 2 minutes. Set aside.
- WHIPPED CREAM: In a large bowl or stand mixer beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold 2 1/2 cups into the chocolate pudding along with 1/2 cup crushed oreos. Add the mint extract and green food coloring to the remaining whipped cream.
- ASSEMBLY: Spoon some chocolate pudding into the bottom of each cup. Top with mint whipped cream then top each with the remaining chocolate pudding. Top with crushed oreos and gummy worms. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Storage: Cover your dirt cups and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. The Oreos may get soggy and the worms will get hard in the fridge, so if you think you’re going to have leftovers you might want to wait to add the toppings right before enjoying your dessert.
