Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Mixture
- 1 ½ cups vanilla Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Cookies and Toppings
- 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (about 16 cookies)
- 15 gummy worms
Instructions
- Make the pudding mixture: Place the vanilla Greek yogurt, heavy cream, honey, cocoa powder, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer. Process on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.
- Layer the dessert cups: In 6 small cups or jars, create alternate layers starting with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies followed by the chocolate pudding mixture. Repeat the layers so that each cup ends up with two layers of cookies and two layers of pudding, evenly divided among the cups.
- Add the finishing touch: Top each cup with several gummy worms to create the classic ‘dirt and worms’ look. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream and Greek yogurt with coconut cream and dairy-free yogurt.
- Use regular peanut butter or omit it entirely if you have a peanut allergy or prefer a different flavor.
- Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies finely for easier layering and a consistent texture.
- These pudding cups are best served immediately to keep the cookies from becoming soggy but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours.
- Try adding other gummy candies or edible flowers for a creative twist.
