My son who just turned 14 requested Oreo Dirt Cake for his birthday dinner dessert. Since he made it for me last Mother’s Day I thought I would return the favor and honor his wishes!
Little did I know I would be taking enough liberties with the recipe that I wanted to post about the changes I made (and show you a much better picture!)
The printable recipe is below but I”ll tell you what I did differently from the earlier recipe.
I used chocolate pudding this time instead of vanilla (your preference).
Instead of mixing the butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar in one bowl and the pudding mix, milk and whipped topping in a separate one, I mixed them all in one bowl (according to the directions below).
I also used a 9×13 pan (either glass or metal is fine) instead of an 8 inch diameter bowl.
Take this dessert to your favorite potluck dinner, and you will love the compliments you receive!
- ½ stick of butter
- 1 8-oz. pkg cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 (3.5 oz.) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3½ cups milk
- 1 (16 oz.) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 large package oreo cookies with creme filling
- Break cookies apart and grind in food processor or blender.The white creme will disappear.
- Mix butter, cream cheese and sugar in largest mixing bowl.
- Add pudding and milk and mix thoroughly.
- Add whipped topping and mix gently.
- Layer in a 9×13 dish, alternating creme and cookie layers. Finish with cookies on top.
- Chill until ready to serve (24 hours if possible).

We aren’t dessert eaters, but I do like Oreo cookies. And I have to say, this cake looks and sounds so yummy!!! Thanks for sharing.

I Stumbled this post. Yum!
Oh this looks fab!
Would love for you to link it and your other cake recipes up at my new Empty Your Archive link party which is a chance to dust off great posts from your archive – there is a focus this week on big cakes – would really love to see you there, Alice @ Mums Make Lists x
So this is 1/2 stick of butter and not 1/2 cup? Similar recipes call for 1/2 cup, so I’m hesitant. And is a 14 oz pack of Oreos the “large” package? Thanks for your help! I need to make this tonight! Ah!
Oooo I’ve never heard of dirt cake before but it looks fab.
I’d love for you to share this at a link party I’m hosting

Yummm! This was one of my favorite desserts as a kid. We used chocolate pudding, too. And added gummy worms. Thanks for the delicious reminder- I’ll definitely have to make this for my little guys!
