Dirt Cake Recipe with Cream Cheese

Instructions:

1. Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor until they reach a fine, sandy texture. Note: Avoid turning them into a powder; you want some small pebbles for texture.
2. Beat softened cream cheese and butter together until the mixture is smooth and pale.
3. Gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar until fully incorporated.
4. Whisk the vanilla pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until the mixture visibly thickens.
5. Gently fold the thickened pudding and thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese base until the color is uniform.
6. Spread a thin layer of crushed Oreos across the bottom of the dish.
7. Pour half of the creamy pudding mixture over the crumbs, smoothing it with a spatula.
8. Repeat the process with another layer of cookies and the remaining pudding mixture.
9. Top with a final sprinkle of cookie crumbs and nestle the gummy worms into the dirt.
10. Chill for 4 hours 20 mins until the filling feels firm to the touch.
