Method
Preparation
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin. Reserve 1 cup of the crumbs for topping later.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk and instant chocolate pudding mix until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
Assembly
- In a 9×13 inch dish, layer half of the crushed Oreo cookies on the bottom.
- Pour half of the cream cheese and pudding mixture over the cookies.
- Repeat with the remaining Oreo crumbs and cream cheese mixture.
- Top the cake with the reserved Oreo crumbs and garnish with gummy worms and chocolate sprinkles if desired.
Setting
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
Notes
Crush Oreos finely for the smoothest 'dirt' layer; leave a few chunks for more crunch. Soften the cream cheese and butter to room temperature to avoid lumps. Fold gently to keep the mixture airy.
