Easy, no-bake Pumpkin Dirt Cups featuring layers of creamy chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and festive candy pumpkins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3.9 oz) Chocolate Instant Pudding
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 8 ounce Cool Whip
  • 1 regular size package of Oreo Cookies
  • Candy Pumpkins
  • Shredded Coconut
  • Green food coloring

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs, or place them in a gallon-size ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  2. Whisk together the chocolate instant pudding mix and milk in a medium bowl for 2 minutes, following package directions.
  3. Allow the pudding mixture to set for 5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the 8 ounce Cool Whip until combined.
  5. Place one tablespoon of crushed Oreo cookies into the bottom of each serving cup.
  6. Top the cookie layer with a layer of the pudding mixture.
  7. Repeat the layers, alternating crushed cookies and pudding mixture, until the cups are full, ending with a layer of crushed cookie mixture on top.
  8. Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 1 hour to allow them to set.
  9. To prepare the 'grass' decoration, add the shredded coconut to a container with a lid.
  10. Add a few drops of green food coloring and a touch of water to the coconut.
  11. Secure the lid and shake the container until the coconut is evenly colored.
  12. Right before serving, sprinkle some colored shredded coconut on top of each dirt cup.
  13. Place a few candy pumpkins on top of the coconut for decoration.
  14. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure you use instant pudding, not cook-and-serve, for proper setting.
Chill the cups for at least 1 hour for best texture and flavor.
Add decorations right before serving to prevent them from sinking or getting soggy.
For neat layers, you can use a piping bag for the pudding mixture.
