Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Mixture
- 1 ½ cups vanilla Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (about 16 cookies)
- 15 gummy worms
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding mixture: Place the vanilla Greek yogurt, heavy cream, honey, cocoa powder, optional peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer. Process until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
- Layer the cups: Create alternate layers of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and the chocolate pudding mixture in six small cups or jars. Start with crushed cookies, then pudding, repeating so there are two layers each.
- Garnish and serve: Top each cup with gummy worms to resemble dirt and worms. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can omit the peanut butter if you prefer a nut-free version.
- Use any brand of chocolate sandwich cookies; Oreos are a popular choice.
- If you don’t have a stand mixer, use a hand mixer or whisk vigorously by hand to achieve fluffiness.
- These cups can be made ahead and chilled for up to 2 hours but are best served fresh to keep the cookie texture crisp.
- For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt and heavy cream with coconut yogurt and coconut cream, and use a vegan honey alternative like maple syrup.
