Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk for 5 minutes, until the pudding is soft-set. Fold in the Cool Whip and set aside.
- In an electric stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the softened cream cheese and butter on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the powdered sugar and mix on low until combined, then beat again on medium-high until smooth, about another 30 seconds.
- Combine the pudding mixture with the cream cheese mixture and mix on medium-high speed until well blended. Use a spatula for further mixing and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Process the Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs are formed, or crush them in a Ziplock bag using a rolling pin or mallet.
- In an 8.25? trifle bowl, layer 1/3 of the pudding mixture (about 2-1/2 cups) at the bottom, followed by 1/3 of the cookie crumbs (about 1 cup). Spread each layer evenly.
- Repeat the layering process two more times. Alternatively, layer in individual glasses or cups.
- Cover the Dirt Cake and chill for at least 12 hours before serving. Top with gummy worms and/or edible flowers as desired.
