Easter dirt cups are made with layers of creamy chocolate pudding mixed with cool whip, crushed Oreo cookie crumbs, and decorated with Peeps marshmallow bunnies. This classic pudding cup dessert is easy to make and a festive treat for kids.

Pair this Easter pudding recipe on a dessert table with Cadbury Mini Cheesecakes, Easter Egg OREO Balls, and a Spring Charcuterie Board.

Easter Pudding Dirt Cups

Dirt cups are a classic Oreo dessert recipe, especially for kids. The original recipe calls for gummy worms, but they are fun to customize with seasonal candy (check out our Halloween Dirt Cups for a spooky twist). For the Easter season, add Peeps marshmallow bunnies, Cadbury Mini Eggs, or mini chocolate bunnies.

Pudding dirt cups are delicious and made with a few, simple ingredients. For this recipe, I’m using chocolate pudding, but vanilla pudding is a great alternative.

The pudding is layered in small cups alternating between pudding and crushed Oreo cookies. To decorate we added green-dyed shredded coconut for grass, a Peeps bunny, chocolate eggs, and icing decorations. Kids will love customizing their pudding cups with candy.

How to make pudding dirt cups (VIDEO TUTORIAL)

  1. Crush the Oreo cookies in a plastic bag to create the “dirt” layers.
  2. Mix the pudding and milk.
  3. Stir in the cool whip.
  4. Layer the chocolate pudding and crushed cookies.
  5. Decorate with holiday candy.

How long can pudding dirt cups be stored?

Pudding dirt cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pudding can be made a day ahead and stored separately from the toppings. On the day the dessert is being served, assemble the cups with layers of cookie crumbs and candy toppings. This will help preserve the toppings from taking in too much moisture.

Tips & tricks

  • Place one cup of shredded coconut in a large zip-top bag. Add 1-3 drops of green food dye, seal, and shake until the coconut is evenly coated.
  • The recipe makes (8) 1-cup pudding cups.
  • Prepare the pudding ahead, then transfer it into piping bags for kids to assemble. Place small candy cups down the center of a table or on each place setting for kids to have a decorating station. They will enjoy picking their favorite toppings to decorate the pudding cups.
