Dirt Pudding

2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant French vanilla pudding mix

3 cups milk

1 cup confectioners sugar

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

¼ cup butter, softened

1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

1 (14 ounce) package chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies, crushed (divided)

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 9x12-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.
