Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate pudding (instant or cook-and-serve)
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- 1 package gummy worms
- 4 clear plastic cups
- 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: In a mixing bowl, prepare the chocolate pudding according to package instructions. Whisk until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Layer the pudding: Spoon a layer of chocolate pudding into the bottom of each plastic cup, using about 1/4 cup of pudding per cup for even layers.
- Add ‘dirt’ layer: Sprinkle a layer of crushed Oreo cookies on top of the chocolate pudding to create a ‘dirt’ layer, using about 2 tablespoons for this step.
- Repeat layers: Continue to alternate layers, adding another layer of chocolate pudding on top of the crushed Oreos and then another layer of crushed Oreos until the cup is nearly full, finishing with an Oreo layer.
- Top with whipped cream: Generously top each cup with whipped cream for a light, fluffy finish.
- Decorate with worms: Place gummy worms on top of the whipped cream for decoration, letting them hang over the sides for effect.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy these pudding cups right away or chill in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
Notes
Whisk the pudding thoroughly to prevent lumps and chill for at least 30 minutes for the best texture.
