  • 1 (5.1-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 (15-ounce) package Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 1 cup gummy worms
  • 1 cup chocolate eggs (or other Easter candies)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
    • Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.

  • Make the Pudding

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).
    • Combine the pudding mixture with the cream cheese mixture, stirring until well blended.

  • Layer the Dessert

    • In a 9×13-inch casserole dish, spread half of the crushed Oreo cookies evenly on the bottom.
    • Pour half of the pudding and cream cheese mixture over the crushed Oreos and spread evenly.
    • Add another layer of the remaining crushed Oreos on top.

  • Decorate the Top

    • Arrange gummy worms and chocolate eggs on top to resemble an Easter-themed garden.
    • If desired, add fresh mint leaves for a decorative touch.

  • Chill and Serve

    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
    • Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla for an even richer flavor.
  • Swap Golden Oreos for a lighter, vanilla-flavored twist.
  • Add shredded coconut dyed green with food coloring to create a “grass” effect.
  • Serve in individual cups for an easy, grab-and-go option.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
