Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (3.5-oz.) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 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 milk until fully combined. Let the mixture sit for about 3 minutes to thicken.
- Make the whipped cream: Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, which ensures the whipped cream holds its shape.
- Combine pudding and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream and about one-third of the crushed Oreos into the thickened chocolate pudding mixture until evenly incorporated, maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
- Assemble the dessert: Divide the pudding mixture 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, decorative finish.

- For a lighter version, you can use reduced-fat milk and whipping cream substitutes.
- Chilling the pudding mixture before assembling can enhance the dessert’s texture and flavor.
