Dirt Pudding

Ingredients

• 2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant French vanilla pudding mix
• 3 cups milk
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 (14 ounce) package chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies, crushed (divided)

Directions

Whisk French vanilla pudding mix with milk in a large bowl until softly set, about 2 minutes. Pudding will thicken as it stands. Cream confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, and butter in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy. Stir cream cheese mixture into pudding until thoroughly combined; gently fold frozen whipped topping into the mixture.

Place half the cookie crumbs into the bottom of an 9×12-inch dish; retain remaining crumbs for topping. Spread the filling over the layer of cookie crumbs and top with remaining crumbs, covering completely. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
