Mak­ing East­er dirt cups is a breeze and doesn’t require a lot of time or effort. The base of these deli­cious dessert cups is made with Oreo cook­ie crumbs. To achieve the per­fect fine crumb, sim­ply crush the Oreo cook­ies using a food proces­sor or a rolling pin inside a ziplock bag. For the creamy fill­ing, mix togeth­er instant choco­late pud­ding mix, cold milk, and vanil­la pud­ding mix in a large mix­ing bowl, and add a gen­er­ous amount of Cool Whip or whipped top­ping to cre­ate a smooth, creamy tex­ture. Then, lay­er the choco­late pud­ding mix­ture with the crushed Oreo crumbs, cre­at­ing a deli­cious Oreo lay­er that resem­bles the “dirt.” For extra fun, you can top the cups with East­er Peeps bun­nies, can­dy eggs, or edi­ble grass for a fes­tive touch. If you’re feel­ing extra cre­ative, add col­or­ful green sprin­kles or even pur­ple pud­ding to make the dessert even more visu­al­ly appeal­ing. These Oreo dirt cups can be served in clear plas­tic cups or small mason jars, mak­ing them the per­fect indi­vid­ual East­er dirt cake cups. Not only are these cups easy to assem­ble, but they can be made ahead of time and stored in an air­tight con­tain­er, ensur­ing your treats stay fresh for East­er.
