Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Mixture
- 1 ½ cups vanilla Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Assembly
- 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (about 16 cookies)
- 15 gummy worms
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding mixture: Place the vanilla Greek yogurt, heavy cream, honey, cocoa powder, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Process until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.
- Layer the cups: In six small cups or jars, create alternating layers starting with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies followed by a layer of the chocolate pudding mixture. Repeat this layering twice so each cup has two layers of cookies and two layers of pudding.
- Add the finishing touch: Top each cup with a few gummy worms to resemble dirt and worms, making the dessert visually fun and enticing.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy these Dirt Pudding Cups right away for the freshest texture and taste.
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker pudding, chill the mixture for 30 minutes before layering.
- The peanut butter is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor; you can omit it for a simpler chocolate pudding.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the chocolate sandwich cookies with gluten-free chocolate cookies.
- Customize the gummy worm topping by adding other candy or crushed nuts if desired.
