Ingredients
- 1 (13.29-ounce) package Oreos
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (16-ounce) container Cool Whip
- 2 (3.4-ounce) boxes instant white chocolate, or vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Easter candy (PEEP bunnies, edible grass, candy Easter eggs)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Oreo Crust:
Crush the Oreos in a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin until finely ground. Press the crushed Oreos into the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish to form the crust. -
Make the Cream Cheese Mixture:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until well combined. -
Prepare the Pudding Mixture:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the pudding thickens, about 2-3 minutes. -
Combine the Mixtures:
Fold the Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until well combined. Then, fold in the cream cheese mixture until everything is smooth and creamy. -
Assemble the Casserole:
Spread the creamy mixture over the prepared Oreo crust in the casserole dish. -
Top with Easter Candy:
Decorate the top of the casserole with your favorite Easter candy, such as PEEP bunnies, edible grass, and candy Easter eggs. -
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the Easter Dirt Cake Casserole for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For a more festive look, feel free to add other Easter-themed candy like jelly beans or mini chocolate eggs.
- Make sure to refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the layers set and the flavors meld together.
- You can substitute vanilla pudding if you prefer a different flavor, but white chocolate gives it a unique richness.
