A messy, fun, and quick no-bake dessert featuring layers of Oreo cookie crumbs, creamy vanilla pudding, and whipped cream, topped with chocolate chips and gummy worms.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (about 14 cookies) Oreo Cookies
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 box (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • Mini Oreo Cookies, for garnish
  • Gummy Worms, optional
  • Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor or crush them in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 20-30 seconds and let it cool slightly.
  3. Pour the melted butter over the cookie crumbs and stir until evenly coated like wet sand.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk vigorously for 2 minutes until thick and smooth.
  5. Whip the heavy cream in a separate large bowl until stiff peaks form.
  6. Lighten the pudding by stirring in one-third of the whipped cream, then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until light and fluffy.
  7. Layer the dessert in serving cups: start with cookie crumbs, add pudding mixture, repeat layers, and finish with a top layer of crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top layer and tuck in gummy worms if desired.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

Ensure cookie crumbs are well-coated with butter to prevent sogginess. Keep ingredients cold for best texture. Consume within 24 hours for optimal crunch. Do not freeze assembled cups as cookies will become mushy.
