Easter Dirt Cups

These Easter dirt cups are a delicious and simple treat to enjoy during the spring and Easter season. With minimal ingredients. it’s a great pantry friendly dessert. These Easter friendly dirt cups are a holiday spin off of our yummy dinosaur dirt cups.  This time around we decided to separate the pudding mixture and add a touch of food coloring. Now we have pretty pastel colored layers in between the Oreo crumbs.

Chocolate Dessert with an Easter Twist

You only need a few minimal ingredients to make this Easter dessert.  We love to make this dessert in individual serving cups, we usually get around 18, which makes them perfect for family dinners and parties!  You can also make this dessert in a 9×13 inch pan.

How to make Easter Dirt Dessert

1. Whisk together pudding mix and milk in a medium bowl for 2 minutes. Allow to set for 5 minutes.

5. Top with a layer of pudding mixture.
6. Repeat layers, alternating with the colored pudding, until ending with cookie mixture.
