Easy Easter Pistachio Pudding Dirt Cups With Oreos And Peeps

This cute Easter dessert is a fun, no-bake project that kids love to help assemble. Best of all, it's ready and chilled by the time they're done collecting chocolate eggs in the yard. My daughter calls these pudding cups “the best part of Easter” because she gets to decorate them with Peeps and Cadbury mini eggs!

These easy Easter pudding cups are a whimsical garden-themed treat that take very little effort to put together! They’re one of our favorite recipes for some Easter holiday fun.

No-bake: Ready in minutes with zero oven time.

Kid-friendly: Little ones love crushing cookies, layering ingredients, and decorating.

Make-ahead: Reduce stress by assembling the pudding cups before your event.

Convenient: You only need a handful of staple ingredients and seasonal candy.

This Easter dirt cups recipe uses simple ingredients for a creamy pistachio-chocolate dessert! Scroll to the recipe card at the end of this post for the full recipe with ingredient amounts.

• Instant pistachio pudding mix: It's the "grass" layer due to its light green color. Use your favorite brand.
• Cold milk: Don't use room temperature or warm milk, otherwise the pudding mix won't thicken well.
• Cool Whip: Adds a fluffy, airy texture. Feel free to use homemade whipped cream instead.
• Chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos): Crushed into Oreo crumbs for the garden “dirt” layers.
• Mini marshmallow Peeps: My favorite are the Peeps bunny or chicks for cute toppers.
• Mini chocolate eggs: I love Cadbury mini eggs, but any brand works. Pastel-colored jelly beans work too.
• Easter themed sprinkles: Pastel sprinkles are a wonderful swap.

These creamy pistachio-oreo dirt cups are a quick, no-bake Easter treat! Layer, decorate, and chill for adorable Easter-garden pudding cups everyone will love.

1. Step 1: Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the pistachio pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes, until smooth and thick.

3. Step 3: Gently fold in the Cool Whip a little at a time, until the mixture is light and creamy.

4. Step 4: Layer cookie crumbs and pudding in each 6-oz cup, finishing with crumbs on top, then decorate with Peeps, chocolate eggs, and sprinkles. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

These velvety Easter pudding cups with Oreo "dirt" are super fun to customize with your favorite candy and pudding flavors! Try these yummy twists:

Chocolate pudding cups: Use chocolate pudding mix instead of pistachio and layer it with Oreo crumbs as usual. The last layer on each cup should be chopped pistachios for a green grass-look. Decorate.

Make it pink: Using strawberry pudding mix will give you a pink pudding mixture you can layer into the Easter cups. You can also add 1-3 drops pink food coloring to vanilla pudding instead.

Go nuts: Mix ¼ cup crushed pecans or walnuts into the Oreo crumbs for some crunch. Make sure your guests don't have any nut-allergies for this.

Swap the Peeps: Sometimes our local store carries lots of chocolate Easter bunnies on sale, so I'll use those instead of marshmallow Peeps.

These cute dessert cups with fluffy marshmallow Peeps are the star of any Easter snack table! Here are our favorite ways to enjoy them:

• Add to the dessert table along with my Lemon Sugar Cookie Bars.
• Bring to school Easter events for sharing.
• Serve as a cute snack along with small bags of my Cake Batter Puppy Chow and Ice Cream Cone Cake Pops.
• Set out with Chocolate-Covered Strawberries and Banana Raspberry Muffins for Easter brunch.

These no-bake Easter dirt cups are best fresh but they keep well too if you're prepping ahead! Here’s how to store them for later:

Refrigerator

In an airtight container or loosely covered with plastic wrap for up to 2 days. Add decorations just before serving to preserve crunch and prevent color bleeding.

These simple tips and tricks will make your Easter-themed Oreo-pistachio pudding cups a hit with everyone:

Crush cookies finely: This creates a realistic “dirt” look. It's easier to crush them with a food processor for this. Coarse crumbs are okay, though.

Fold the Cool Whip gently: Don't combine the pudding and Cool Whip too quickly or harshly because the mixture will deflate.

Set up a decorating station: This is a great way to prep the elements in advance without assembling all the cups yourself. Allow your guests to fill their cups with crushed Oreo dirt, pistachio pudding, and decorate their own!

Use a cold bowl: The pudding mixture will thicken faster when you beat it if the mixing bowl is cold. Pop it into the freezer for 10-15 minutes before mixing.

Here’s what other no-bake recipe-lovers are asking about these cute Easter dessert cups!

Yes! Keep it classic or add 1-3 drops pink food coloring.

Absolutely, but your ingredients will all need to be dairy-free or vegan.

Up to 2 days in the fridge, but they're best fresh.
