Ingredients

✅ Dirt Cake Layers:

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip)
  • 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk

✅ Easter Decorations:

 

  • Pastel M&M’s or candy eggs
  • Shredded coconut, dyed green (for “grass”)
  • Peeps marshmallow bunnies or chicks
  • Chocolate bunnies
  • Spring sprinkles

Instructions

1️⃣ Crush the Oreos

  • Place Oreos in a plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin or pulse in a food processor.
  • Set aside ½ cup of crushed Oreos for topping.

2️⃣ Make the Cream Cheese Mixture

  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Fold in the whipped topping and mix until combined.

3️⃣ Prepare the Pudding

  • In another bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened.
  • Gently fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

4️⃣ Assemble the Easter Dirt Cake Casserole

  • Spread half of the crushed Oreos in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Pour the pudding mixture over the Oreo layer, spreading it evenly.
  • Top with the remaining crushed Oreos.

5️⃣ Decorate the Cake

  • Dye the shredded coconut green by mixing it with a few drops of green food coloring in a bag and shaking until evenly colored.
  • Sprinkle the coconut “grass” over the cake.
  • Add Peeps, chocolate bunnies, pastel M&M’s, and sprinkles on top.

6️⃣ Chill & Serve

 

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) for the best flavor and texture.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla for a classic dirt cake effect.
  • For a lemon twist, use lemon pudding and crushed lemon Oreos.

 

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
