Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Gummy worms for garnish
- Plastic cups for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 package of chocolate pudding mix, 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of crushed Oreo cookies, 1 cup of whipped cream, gummy worms for garnish, and plastic cups for serving.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk the mixture thoroughly for about 2 minutes until it thickens and is well combined.
- Once the pudding has thickened, gently fold in 1 cup of whipped cream. This will give the pudding a light and airy texture. Make sure to mix until there are no streaks of whipped cream left.
- Next, prepare your plastic cups for serving. You can use clear plastic cups to showcase the layers of the dessert.
- Begin layering the dessert in the plastic cups. Start by adding a layer of the chocolate pudding mixture, filling each cup about halfway.
- Sprinkle a layer of crushed Oreo cookies on top of the pudding in each cup. This will add a nice crunch and enhance the "dirt" effect.
- Continue layering by adding another layer of the chocolate pudding mixture on top of the crushed Oreos, filling the cups to the top.
- Finish off each cup with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. This will create a fluffy and delicious finishing touch.
- For the final touch, garnish each cup with gummy worms, placing them on top of the whipped cream or letting them hang over the edge for a fun Halloween effect.
- Once all the cups are assembled, refrigerate them for a few minutes if desired, or serve immediately. Enjoy your spooky Halloween Dirt Cup Shooters!
Tips
- Chill Out: For the best texture, refrigerate your pudding mix for about 15 minutes before assembling to ensure it's perfectly set.
- Oreo Crushing Technique: Place Oreo cookies in a sealed plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them for a consistent, fine "dirt" texture.
- Layer Like a Pro: Use a clear plastic cup to showcase your layers, and take your time when adding each component for a visually stunning dessert.
- Gummy Worm Placement: Get creative with your gummy worm positioning - let some hang dramatically over the cup's edge for maximum spooky effect!
- Make Ahead: These shooters can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance, making them perfect for party planning.
- Kid-Friendly Variation: Let children help assemble the cups for a fun Halloween cooking activity.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use non-dairy milk and whipped topping for a lactose-free version of this ghoulish treat.
