Ingredients

Directions

  1. Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, reserving a few whole cookies for decoration if desired.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with softened butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the cookie crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the flower pot to form a crust.
  4. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fold in half of the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie crust in the flower pot.
  7. Prepare the instant chocolate pudding according to package directions using the milk.
  8. Fold the remaining whipped topping into the prepared chocolate pudding until light and fluffy.
  9. Spoon the chocolate pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
  10. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 1 hour to allow layers to set.
  11. Before serving, sprinkle additional crushed Oreo cookies on top to resemble dirt.
