Easter Dirt Cake is a fun and delicious layered dessert perfect for spring celebrations, featuring a creamy filling and vibrant toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14.3 oz) package chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 (8 oz) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 cup pastel Easter candy eggs
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup pastel sprinkles
  • Extra crushed cookies for topping
  • Gummy worms (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until mostly fine crumbs form. Leave a few slightly larger pieces for texture. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix until fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture until smooth, then fold in the thawed whipped topping.
  5. In a clear 9×13-inch glass dish, layer crushed cookies, followed by the cream mixture, and repeat layers, finishing with cookie crumbs on top.
  6. Decorate with pastel candy eggs, mini marshmallows, sprinkles, and extra cookie crumbs. Add gummy worms if desired.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Using a food processor makes crushing the cookies easier, but a rolling pin works too.
  • Allowing the cake to chill is essential for the best texture.
  • This dessert can be made a day in advance for convenience.
