The Cutest Easter Dessert in a Cup!
I will never forget my husband and I searching everywhere for a Cozy Coupe to give our toddler son for Easter one year. It seems like those things are everywhere when you don’t need one and impossible to find when you do!
We finally found one! We stayed up late assembling it so we could surprise our son with it for Easter. The time came to give it to him and he was just as excited as we were over it! He climbed in, grabbed the steering wheel to take it for a spin and… the steering wheel came right off! It was hilarious! Clearly we missed a step in assembling. My husband fixed it and off our son went.
We have so many fond memories with that little car. He used it every day until the time came when he couldn’t fit in it anymore. We had a hard time letting go of it. But it wasn’t so much the car we were letting go of. It was the memories that we made together as a family that we didn’t want to end!
Speaking of which, you aren’t going to want these Easter Oreo Dirt Cake Cups to end, either!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Can I make Easter Dirt Cake Cups ahead of time?
Yes! You can make them up to 24 hours in advance. Store them in the refrigerator. For best texture, add Easter candy decorations just before serving so they stay fresh and colorful.
What are the best Easter toppings for Dirt Cake Cups?
Popular Easter toppings include marshmallow Peeps, mini-chocolate eggs, jelly beans, candy carrots, candy flowers, or green-tinted coconut for ‘grass.’
What kind of Oreos work best for Dirt Cake Cups?
Classic chocolate Oreos are best because they create the most realistic ‘dirt’ look when crushed. Regular or family-size Oreos both work well.
My Best Tips:
- Making Ahead – These hold up nicely if you make them one day ahead, but I don’t recommend making them any farther ahead than that. The cookie crumbs will start to soften.
- Use Instant Pudding – Any brand of chocolate pudding will work, but it must be instant. Use the 3.9 oz size box.
- Make for Any Holiday:
- Graveyard – Use tombstone shaped cookies and write R.I.P. on them. Stick into the top of each cup and garnish with pumpkins.
- Sandy Beach – Use golden Oreo’s and decorate with little umbrellas.
- Construction – Use a small shovel and/or toy tractor to garnish with.
- Dinosaur – Use small toy dinosaurs to decorate with.
- Worm
- Flower – Use little flowers to garnish with.
- Earth Day
