Easter Peeps Dirt Pudding Cups
Ingredients
- 1 14 oz package of Oreos
- 2 small boxes instant vanilla pudding
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 12 oz cool whip
- 1 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- Blue and pink food coloring
- Topping: 1 cup coconut, green food coloring, chocolate eggs with candy shell, Easter Chick Peeps
Instructions
- Crush Oreos in a food processor. (This can also be done by putting them in a plastic storage bag and crushing them with a rolling pin or canned good).
- In a large bowl, whisk pudding mixes and milk for about 30 seconds. Set aside to thicken while you make the cream cheese mixture.
- In another large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add and beat in powdered sugar.
- By this point, pudding should be thickened. Whisk it a little more to combine thoroughly. Whisk in cool whip into pudding.
- Pour pudding mixture into cream cheese mixture and mix until combined.
- Divide mixture in half. Using a few drops of food coloring for each, dye one blue and the other pink. Stir until color is completely mixed in, adding more dye if necessary..
- Begin layering in small jars or mini trifle dishes: 1-2 tbsp crushed Oreos, 2 tbsp blue pudding, 1-2 tbsp Oreos, 2 tbsp pink pudding, 1-2 tbsp crushed Oreos, 1 tbsp blue pudding, 1 tbsp crushed Oreos.
- Place coconut in a small plastic storage bag. Place a few drops of green food coloring into the coconut. Seal bag while letting air out. Begin moving and mixing coconut around in bag to dye the coconut green.
- Place coconut onto top layer of Oreos.
- Place a few candy eggs onto coconut.
- Finish off with a Peep Easter Chick.
- Repeat with remaining jars.
Notes
This can also be made using a large trifle dish or a small punch bowl. Start and end with crushed oreos as you layer. You will end up with 4 layers of pudding mixture and five layers of oreos.
