Easy Pumpkin Patch Dirt Cups Recipe – 5-Ingredient Halloween Dessert


  • Total Time: 20 minutes (plus chilling)
  • Yield: 8 cups 1x

Description

A fun and festive no-bake Halloween dessert featuring layers of chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, whipped topping, and pumpkin candies that transform into an edible pumpkin patch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk (2% or whole)
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
  • 8 small pumpkin-shaped candies
  • 8 clear plastic cups
  • 4 pretzel sticks

Instructions

  1. Whisk pudding mix and milk in a large bowl for 2 minutes. Let thicken for 5 minutes.
  2. Gently fold whipped topping into pudding until smooth and airy.
  3. Crush Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or Ziploc bag and rolling pin.
  4. Layer crushed Oreos at the bottom of each cup.
  5. Spoon pudding mixture over the Oreo layer, filling cups about three-quarters full.
  6. Top with more crushed Oreos to resemble dirt.
  7. Decorate with pumpkin candies and pretzel stick stems to create a pumpkin patch effect.

Notes

For best texture and flavor, chill dirt cups for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours before serving. Add pumpkin candies just before serving to prevent drying out.
