Ingredients
- 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix
- 4 cups whole milk
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- 2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1 cup chocolate sprinkles
- 1 cup gummy worms (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and whole milk until smooth. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to thicken properly.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the Cool Whip into the thickened pudding until fully combined, creating a light and fluffy mixture.
- Layer ingredients: In a clear serving dish, place half of the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies evenly on the bottom. Then add half of the pudding mixture over the cookie layer. Repeat with the remaining cookies and pudding.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the top layer with the remaining crushed cookies, chocolate sprinkles, and arrange gummy worms over the surface if desired for a fun effect.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use cold whole milk to prepare the pudding.
- Gummy worms are optional but add a fun, playful texture especially for Easter.
- This dessert can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Use a clear dish to show off the layered presentation.
- Feel free to substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a fresher option.
