Description
A simple, no-bake dessert resembling a graveyard scene, made with crushed cookies and pudding.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 6–8 gummy worms
- 4–6 Milano cookies or plain shortbread cookies for tombstones
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding according to package directions using the cold milk. Let it set for 5 minutes.
- Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the prepared pudding until combined.
- Place about half of the chocolate sandwich cookies into a food processor or a large plastic bag and crush them until they resemble dirt. Set aside.
- Crush the remaining cookies slightly more coarsely for texture.
- In a clear glass serving dish or individual cups, layer the ingredients. Start with a layer of crushed cookies, followed by a layer of the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of pudding.
- Sprinkle the finely crushed cookies over the top layer of pudding to create the ‘dirt’ effect.
- Insert the gummy worms so they appear to be crawling out of the dirt.
- Write ‘RIP’ or a simple design on the Milano cookies using black icing or melted chocolate, if desired, and stick them into the ‘dirt’ as tombstones.
- Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- You can use a 9×13 inch pan for a large cake or individual clear cups for single servings.
- For a richer flavor, use chocolate milk instead of regular milk when making the pudding.
- If you do not have a food processor, place cookies in a sturdy bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
