How do you make dirt for worms in dirt dessert?
The dirt part of this worms in dirt dessert is made from gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies. All you have to do is crush them up, and sprinkle them on top of the pudding. You can do this in two ways:
- Place the cookies in a plastic ziplock bag. Take a rolling pin and gently roll it back and forth on the cookies, until they are crushed into small pieces. Be careful not to use too much force, you don’t want to break open the bag.
- And my favorite way, just place the cookies in the food processor. Pulse until all cookies are crumbled up. Using this method may give you a smaller cookie crumb, so if you want bigger chunks then you may want to use the ziplock method.
How long is worms in dirt pudding good for?
This worms in dirt dessert can last in the refrigerator for up to 3 – 4 days. I wouldn’t go past that, and it won’t keep outside of the refrigerator. But this means that you can easily make worms in dirt dessert ahead of time, and just pull it out of the refrigerator for the actual party!
What pudding do you use for a chocolate pudding dessert?
For a chocolate pudding dessert being served at a party, I like to use store-bought instant pudding. If you go this route, make sure the brand you’re using is gluten free. You can also make your own pudding, if you’re motivated! And you can make it a touch healthier at the same time with my chocolate avocado pudding (linked at the top). But I would only use that recipe if you’re making a small amount, as the avocados can add up fast.
If you don’t care for chocolate pudding dessert, I’ve also made this recipe using vanilla pudding and gluten free vanilla sandwich cookies (Worms and Sand). This works particularly well if you live by the beach, or if you live in a climate where it’s still hot outside in October. Guests typically get a good laugh out of it!
