How to Make Easter Dirt Cups
- In a large bowl, mix the instant chocolate pudding mix with 4 cups of cold milk. Stir for about two minutes until creamy, then set aside for five minutes to allow it to thicken.
- Place the 20 Oreos in a large Ziploc bag. Using a rolling pin, crush them into fine crumbs, or pulse them in a food processor for an easier option. Aim for a texture that resembles dirt.
- In small cups or individual dishes, spoon a layer of the prepared pudding as the base. Sprinkle crushed Oreos on top to imitate 'dirt' for a fun textural contrast.
- Top each dirt cup with your choice of colorful garnishes. Add jelly beans, chocolate eggs, or carrot strawberries for an eye-catching finish that makes these cups stand out.
Notes
Assemble the cups just before serving to keep the layers distinct and the toppings vibrant. Optional garnishes include edible flowers for a springtime touch.
