Whip up this Single-Serve Chocolate Protein Dirt Cup! Enjoy a creamy, protein-packed chocolate pudding base, topped with crunchy cookie ‘dirt’ and playful gummy worms.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 scoop (approx. 25-30g) chocolate protein powder
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 3 chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
  • 2–3 gummy worms
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: First, prepare your "dirt" topping. Place the chocolate sandwich cookies into a small sealable bag or bowl and crush them finely using a rolling pin or the back of a spoon until they resemble soil crumbs. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a small mixing bowl or a shaker bottle, combine the chocolate protein powder, milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and alcohol-free vanilla extract. Whisk or shake vigorously until the mixture is smooth, thick, and resembles a pudding consistency. If it's too thick, add a tiny splash more milk; if too thin, let it sit for a minute or add a pinch more protein powder.
  3. Step 3: Begin assembling your dirt cup. Spoon about one-third of the crushed cookies into the bottom of a clear single-serve cup or small glass.
  4. Step 4: Carefully spoon or pour about half of the chocolate protein pudding mixture over the cookie layer. Repeat the layering process with another portion of crushed cookies, followed by the remaining chocolate protein pudding.
  5. Step 5: Finish by topping the cup with the final layer of crushed cookies. Arrange the gummy worms on top, partially burrowing them into the "dirt" for a playful presentation. Serve immediately or chill for 10-15 minutes for a firmer pudding consistency.

Notes

  • Store your assembled dirt cup covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours; for the freshest gummy worms, add them just before serving.
  • This is a delightful chilled dessert, so please don't reheat it; a quick chill in the fridge is all you need for the best firm pudding texture.
  • Showcase your creation by serving it in a clear glass to highlight the fun layers, and get creative "burying" those gummy worms for an extra playful touch!
  • For the most authentic "dirt" experience, crush your chocolate sandwich cookies to a mix of fine crumbs and a few slightly larger pieces, adding wonderful textural variety to each spoonful.
