Ingredients

1 package (15.25 oz) Oreo cookies

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup milk

1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

Gummy worms (for decoration)

Potted plant or a decorative bowl (for serving)

Instructions

Prep the Oreos: Starting with 12 Oreo cookies, crush them into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zipper bag and rolling with a rolling pin. Set aside for topping later.

Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined and fluffy.

Pudding Mix: In another bowl, combine the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix. Whisk until the mixture thickens and is smooth. Gently fold this into the cream cheese mixture as well.

Layer the Cake: In your chosen serving container (like a potted plant or a decorative bowl), begin layering. Start with a layer of the Oreo crumbs at the bottom, then spread a third of the cream cheese mixture over the crumbs. Repeat this process until you finish with a final layer of the cream cheese mixture.

Top it Off: Sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos on top as the last layer.

Chill: Cover the container with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.

Decorate: Just before serving, place gummy worms on top to resemble worms in dirt. Optional: Add small edible flowers or sprigs of mint for an extra touch.
