Equipment

  • blender or food processor
  • 4 6-ounce glass or plastic cups

Ingredients

  • 10 Oreos or a similar cookie; to yield 1 cup crumbs
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate 70% or more cocoa; about 1 cup when broken into squares
  • 12 ounces silken tofu drained
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 gummy candies

Instructions

  • Crush the Oreos into crumbs. You can do this in a blender or food processor or by sealing them in a plastic bag and using the bottom of a drinking glass.
  • Make the chocolate tofu pudding. First, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals on high. Stir the chocolate in between intervals. Add the melted dark chocolate, drained silken tofu, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  • Assemble the dirt cups. Start with a heaping tablespoon of Oreo crumbs on the bottom of a jar or cup. Add ¼ cup of the chocolate mousse. Add another spoonful of Oreo crumbs then another ¼ cup of mousse, and finish with a top layer of Oreo crumbs. Stick gummy candies or worms into the cups.
  • Refrigerate until you're ready to serve them. Place them on a tray or plate and cover with plastic wrap. You can make them up to 2 days in advance. Enjoy!
