Kitchen essentials for tasty no bake recipes:

When you head into the kitchen to make some of these great recipes you’ll want to have the best tools on hand.

Of course mixing bowls, a mixer, spatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!

I like these casserole dishes from Pyrex which are great for no bake recipes and for all your favorite dinners, brownies, cakes, and more.

You can’t go wrong with some good sharp knives and a cutting board. They will always come in handy in the kitchen for recipes of any kind, even desserts!

Can I make this dirt pie gluten free?

You will definitely need to make some adjustments if you want to make this one gluten free. It’s possible but you will have to swap out quite a bit. For one thing you will need to make or use a gluten free crust and you will definitely need to grab some gluten free cookies.

There are a few brands that make gluten free sandwich cookies like Oreo, Glutino, etc. So they’re available but you will also want to watch the ingredients on your gummy candy as some of those have gluten added as well.

If you are diligent and careful you can definitely make the necessary swaps to create a gluten free version of this recipe but as written it is definitely NOT gluten sensitive or friendly.

What do I need to make this dirt pie recipe at home?

This recipe uses a chocolate pie crust, instant chocolate pudding, whole milk, crushed sandwich cookies, whipped cream, and some gummy worms for garnish!

How to make no bake dirt pie:

In a medium bowl and using an electric mixer, mix the pudding and milk until smooth. 

Fold or gently mix in the whipped topping.

Fold in or gently mix ¾ cup of the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.

Add the pudding mixture into the pie crust. Sprinkle the remaining crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. Top with the Gummy Worms candy.

Chill for 1-2 hours or until firm. Keep chilled until you are ready to serve.
