Ingredients
Scale
Base and Pudding
- 20 Oreos, crushed
- 1 (3.4 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
Toppings
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 5 Milano cookies
- 5 gummy worms
- Black gel decorating icing
Supplies
- Clear plastic cups
Instructions
- Prepare Chocolate Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until fully combined. Let it sit for five minutes to thicken up nicely.
- Create First Oreo Layer: Spread a thin layer of crushed Oreo cookie crumbs at the bottom of each clear plastic cup to form the base layer.
- Add First Pudding Layer: Divide half of the thickened chocolate pudding evenly among the cups, spreading it smoothly over the Oreo crumb base.
- Second Oreo Layer: Sprinkle another layer of crushed Oreo cookies evenly on top of the pudding layer in each cup.
- Mix Pudding with Whipped Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the remaining pudding with the whipped topping and stir until smooth and well blended.
- Add Final Pudding Layer: Evenly distribute this pudding-whipped topping mixture over the second Oreo layer, smoothing the tops of the cups.
- Top with Final Oreo Crumbs: Sprinkle the rest of the crushed Oreos over the top of each cup to mimic dirt.
- Chill the Cups: Place all the pudding cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour to set and enhance flavors.
- Decorate Tombstones and Finish: Use black gel decorating icing to write “RIP” on each Milano cookie. Press one decorated cookie into the top of each cup, then top each with a gummy worm to complete the graveyard look.
Notes
- Use clear cups for the best visual effect of the layered dessert.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and whipped topping with plant-based alternatives.
- Make ahead and refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor infusion.
- Adjust the number of gummy worms and tombstones based on cup quantity.
- Customize with different flavored puddings or cookie crumbs for variety.
