Scale
Pudding Mixture
- 2 (3.5-oz.) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups whole milk
Whipped Cream
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Other
- 1 (14-oz.) package Oreos, crushed, divided (about 2 cups)
- Gummy worms, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and whole milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Let it sit for about 3 minutes to thicken properly.
- Make the whipped cream: Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the cold heavy cream along with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, indicating the cream is fully whipped and stable.
- Combine pudding and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream and about one-third of the crushed Oreos into the thickened chocolate pudding until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Assemble the dessert: Divide the pudding mixture evenly between serving cups or transfer it into a trifle dish. Garnish each serving generously with the remaining crushed Oreos and add gummy worms on top for a fun and thematic decoration.
Notes
- For best results, chill the pudding and bowl before whipping the cream to help it whip up faster and hold its shape better.
- Use full-fat dairy ingredients for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
- Gummy worms add a fun and whimsical touch perfect for kids’ parties or Halloween celebrations.
- This dessert can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated until serving to enhance flavors and texture.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute the Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies.
