Oreo Dirt Pudding made special! Make this classic chocolatey deliciousness into individual servings, for an easy dessert!
I love making individual sized desserts. This recipe is so easy to make and looks like you went to a LOT more effort than you really did. Can’t call that a better win, right?
Well, you could, because these oreo dirt pudding parfaits are SO yummy!
I am able to throw these together in about 15 minutes total and let them hang out in the fridge until dessert time, but I have been known to just make it while my kids dawdle over dinner.
It’s entirely possible to make just half the recipe, in case you don’t want like 6 desserts hanging out in your fridge just staring at you, begging you to eat them.
Not that it’s a problem for me, of course… I have willpower* and am a superhero*
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention – this is NOT diet food. I mean I GET that it’s January and you have New Year’s Resolutions, but VALENTINE’S DAY IS COMING, PEOPLE!
Ahem. Sorry. I get excited about dessert.
If you love individual desserts, you’ll also love Bailey’s Chocolate Mousse.
*neither of these statements are even a little bit true 🙂
Kylee’s Notes & FAQs
What to do with leftovers
Store (covered) in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Substitutions/Additions
- Make a vanilla version! Use the golden Oreos, and make vanilla (or banana pudding), and keep other ingredients the same.
- Don’t have 6 glasses? Use one big dish, and layer it all up in one big dish of deliciousness, and use a spoon to serve individual portions.
- Make this ahead, this will keep in the fridge for a few days. But I would recommend waiting til serving time to sprinkle the cookie crumbs.
How to make Oreo Dirt Pudding Parfaits
Get prepped
- Begin by making the chocolate pudding, it needs to set up in the fridge for a little while first.
- Next, smash up some oreo cookies in a Ziploc bag. You can also use a food processor, but… smashing Oreos in a bag is kind of fun.
- Set aside about half a cup for sprinkling.
- Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter.
- Beat half the cool whip, the cream cheese, and powdered sugar together until fully blended.
Assemble
- Divide buttered oreo crumbs among 6 jars, glasses or cups and stamp down a little.
- Dollop (love that word) on top of the cookie crumbs in each glass, and smooth a little.
- Top with chocolate pudding, and smooth a little.
- Add the cool whip to each glass
Sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs over the top, and refrigerate until dessert time.

Well, you had me at oreo, but then you went and threw in pudding. And cool whip. And cream cheese. So…I’m pretty much going to make these after the toddler goes to bed and then lie to myself each time I say, “This is the last one. Then I’ll share.” Because, let’s be real…Mama aint’ sharin’.
