- 1

- 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the pudding mix with milk until thickened.
- 4
Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Stir in the pudding.
- 5
Layer the crushed cookies and pudding mixture alternately in a trifle dish or individual cups.
- 6
Add a final layer of crushed cookies on top to look like dirt.
- 7
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- 8
Top with gummy worms right before serving if desired.
Chef's tips
Chill completely so the layers set firmly before serving. Use a food processor to get the finest, most even cookie crumbs.
Storage
Refrigerate covered for up to 3 days.
Reheating
Not applicable; served cold.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Not chilling long enough, which makes the layers runny
- •Leaving crumbs too coarse so they do not look like dirt
