The Best Oreo Dirt Cake Recipe (Dirt Pudding)

milk

vanilla pudding

Oreo cookies (divided)

butter (room temperature)

oz cream cheese (room temperature)

sugar

oz cool whip (thawed in the refrigerator)

Gummy worms (optional)

Remove 8 Oreos from the package and place on a cutting board.

Cut the cookies into small, ¼” pieces, set aside.

Put the remaining Oreos into the container of a food processor fit with an “S” blade.

Process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You may need to pause, break apart cookies that get stuck to the blades, and continue processing.

If you don’t have a food processor, you can crush the Oreos with a rolling pin.

Set aside.

Crush the Oreos:

In a medium bowl, whisk together milk and pudding. Set aside in the refrigerator to solidify.

In the bowl of your standing mixer or with a hand-held mixer in a large bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese. Beat until well combined &amp; smooth (about 30-60 seconds).

Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth.

Add pudding to the butter/cream cheese mixture (make sure it has set before adding), and beat on low speed to combined.

Fold in cool whip until the mixture is homogenous (uniform throughout).

Make the pudding:

Layer the pudding mixture and cookies. Start by pouring 2 cups of pudding mixture into the bottom of a trifle dish and spread it until level.

Sprinkle ½ cup cookie crumbs and ¼ cup chopped cookies evenly over the pudding.

Repeat using 2 cups of pudding, ½ cup cookie crumbs and ¼ cup chopped cookies for each layer.

Add gummy worms to each layer as desired, or only add some to the top.

Be sure the final layer is cookie crumbs!

Refrigerate overnight before serving.

Let cake sit for 5 minutes after removing from oven.  Then use a fork and gently prick the cake over the entire top surface.  Space out the pricks...otherwise if they overlap, you'll start to tear the cake up.  I usually just do rows, spacing a bit between each poke until I've done this to the entire cake.

This crumbly streusel muffin stuffed with a cinnamon apple filling will have you asking yourself why you haven't made these baked apple fritter muffins before.

Apple Fritter Muffins

unsalted butter, softened

eggs, room temperature

vanilla extract

all-purpose flour

baking powder

baking soda

salt

cinnamon

nutmeg

apples, granny smith, peeled

brown sugar

Preheat oven to 425° F and prepare a cupcake pan with muffin liners and cooking spray.

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and softened butter to create the streusel topping. Use your fingers to push the butter into the dry mixture as you mix. You should form pea-sized pieces of butter/sugar clumps. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.

Mix the muffin batter using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment starting by creaming your butter and sugar together for 3 - 4 minutes or until pale in color. Scrape down the sides every minute to ensure even mixing.

Add the eggs, vanilla, and salt to the mixture and combine.

Fold in the apples and dry ingredients in the bowl with a spatula until no flour clumps remain.

Spoon one heaping tablespoon of batter in each muffin cup then sprinkle a teaspoon of streusel topping in the middle. Repeat with remaining batter, then top each with streusel. Bake for 22 - 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Mix the glaze with a whisk until a thick glue-like paste forms. It will melt into each muffin.

Remove muffins when cooked to a wire cooling rack immediately then glaze while they are hot with a pastry brush. Be sure to cover every side of the muffin for best results. Enjoy!

To make the biscuit topping: In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together until well-combined. Gently toss in the butter pieces and coat them with the flour mixture. Rub the butter in with your fingers (use your thumbs and first two fingers) until the mixture becomes a little crumbly and the butter forms small clumps (coarse meal with the flour) – you’ll need to use a little pressure to get the cold butter to break up so don’t be afraid to “get dirty”.
