Ingredients

  • 1 package Oreo cookies about 36 cookies, crushed
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 packages instant chocolate pudding mix 3.9 oz each
  • 5 cups cold milk
  • 12 oz frozen whipped topping such as Cool Whip, thawed
  • 24 gummy worms for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the Oreo cookies in a zip top bag or food processor and crush into fine crumbs with a few small chunks; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, and cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mixes with the cold milk for about 2 minutes, until thickened and glossy.
  • Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding and whisk or beat until fully combined and smooth.
  • Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture with a spatula until no streaks remain and the mixture looks light and fluffy.
  • Spoon 2 tablespoons of crushed Oreos into the bottom of each of 8 cups or small dessert jars.
  • Add a layer of the pudding mixture over the crumbs, then repeat, alternating layers of crumbs and pudding mixture, finishing with a generous layer of Oreo crumbs on top.
  • Push 2 to 3 gummy worms into the top Oreo layer of each cup so they peek out.
  • Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until well chilled and slightly set before serving.

Notes

- Use very soft cream cheese and butter to avoid lumps in the filling.
- For neat layers, transfer the pudding mixture to a piping bag or large zip top bag and pipe it into the cups.
- You can assemble the cups up to 24 hours ahead; add gummy worms just before serving if you want them extra fresh.
- Whole, 2 percent, or oat milk will give the creamiest texture for the pudding.
