Who Wants Some Dirt?

No, I’m not talking about the soil that plants grow in.
No, I’m not talking about the scoop, gossip, or low-down type of dirt either.
I’m talking about the amazingly delicious dessert dirt. And no, not that horrendous chocolate-pudding-with-crushed-oreos-and-a-gummy-worm type of dirt that you were probably served in elementary school. I’m talking about the real deal. Oreo Dirt Trifle.
The recipe for this trifle was introduced to me by my Mom, who used to make it for almost every one of my birthdays ages 5-9. It’s ridiculously good. A sugar bomb and not healthy in any way, but incredibly tasty nonetheless.
Memories of this childhood trifle flooded back to me earlier this week when my Mom approached me about my birthday menu requests. Nachos, BBQ chicken pizza, Cake Batter Cheesecake Bars, and some Dirt, please! 
Oreo Dirt Trifle
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ (18 ounce) packages Oreos, well-crushed (I don’t recommend using Double Stuf.)
- ½ stick butter, softened
- 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 (4 ounce) boxes instant vanilla pudding
- 1 (12 ounce) container Cool Whip
Directions:
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the dry pudding mix with the milk and Cool Whip. Stir in the butter mixture.
- In a trifle dish, alternate layers of pudding and crushed cookies, finishing with cookies on top. Refridgerate for at least 1 hour and serve.
Yield: ~12 servings
Enjoy!
Yes to all of this. Yes yes and yes.
Oh I love dirt!! I think I would probably still add gummi worms just for old times sake
This is definitely a step up though from the instant pudding, plus I’m in love with the addition of the cream cheese!!
Omg I used to love the worms in dirt dessert with gummy worms, chocolate pudding, and oreos. It’d probably be even better with some cream cheese. This looks delish!
OREOOOOOOS. Best cookie ever. That is all.
Yuuum! I love anything with oreos in it!!!
I noticed that you said this serves 12 people or maybe that serves 1-2 hungry teenage boys. Looks fab!
Ohhh I love this! I used to crush up oreos into my chocolate pudding, hehe. I would also get worms and dirt as a dessert at one of those local cheesy restaurants, but I’d pull out the worms. This is a great way to make it a little more adult
This was incredible even before I saw cream cheese listed as an ingredient. Oh my yum!
Oh yum yum yum! I love trifles…they are always so good, especially when they involve chocolate cookies!
This looks so yummy! I love your blog. Hard to believe you are so young, and so good at this!
