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
Additional Ingredients
- 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 (if using), vanilla extract, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Process on medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure thorough mixing.
- Assemble the dirt pudding cups. In each of six small cups or jars, create alternate layers starting with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, then the chocolate pudding mixture. Repeat layering once more so that each cup has two layers of cookies and two layers of pudding.
- Add the finishing touch and serve. Top each cup with gummy worms scattered on top to resemble dirt and worms. Serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
Notes
- If you prefer a peanut-free version, simply omit the peanut butter.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute the heavy cream and Greek yogurt with coconut cream and a non-dairy yogurt of your choice.
- Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies finely for easier layering and better texture.
- You can prepare the pudding mixture a few hours ahead and store it refrigerated, but assemble just before serving to keep the cookies crunchy.
- Use mini cups or jars to create individual servings that are easy to serve and fun to eat.
