Description

A fun and playful dessert made with layers of creamy chocolate pudding and crushed Oreo cookies, perfect for Easter celebrations.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups prepared chocolate pudding (homemade or instant)
  • 1 package crushed Oreo cookies (about 1415 cookies)
  • Plastic cups for serving
  • Peeps bunny marshmallows (as desired)
  • Candy eggs (as desired)
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)
  • Mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (optional)
  • Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • Crushed graham crackers or golden vanilla cookies (optional)
  • Raspberry or strawberry jam (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make and chill the pudding: Prepare instant pudding according to package directions or make from scratch, then refrigerate until cool.
  2. Crush the Oreos: Place Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush until you have a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks.
  3. Set up your assembly station: Line up plastic cups, pudding, crushed Oreos, and toppings.
  4. Start layering with a pudding base: Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of pudding into the bottom of each cup.
  5. Add the first “dirt” layer: Sprinkle crushed Oreos over the pudding base and press lightly.
  6. Repeat layers until the cup is filled: Alternate pudding and Oreo layers, finishing with Oreo crumbs on top.
  7. Decorate the tops: Add Peeps and candy eggs, and pipe whipped cream if using.
  8. Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Make ahead and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours; add fragile toppings just before serving.
