Description

Matcha Moss Pots With Oreo Gravel is an easy, no-bake dessert that upgrades the classic dirt cake with vibrant matcha (moss) and irresistible Oreo (gravel). This whimsical and satisfying treat is perfect for families, offering wholesome ingredients and a delightful texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (226g) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1.5 cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2.5 Tbsp (18.5g) culinary grade matcha powder (using average of 2–3 Tbsp)
  • 1.5 Tbsp (22.5ml) whole or preferred milk (using average of 1–2 Tbsp)
  • 1.5 sleeves (20-24 cookies) Oreo cookies or similar chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
  • 4 Tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, melted
  • Gummy worms or candy rocks (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gravel: Crush 1.5 sleeves of Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or rolling pin until resembling coarse dirt. Mix these crumbs with 4 Tbsp (56g) melted butter in a medium bowl until evenly moistened.
  2. Create the Creamy Matcha Moss: In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 oz (226g) softened cream cheese and 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar together with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is light and smooth. In a separate, chilled bowl, whip 1.5 cups (360ml) heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes). Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in 2-3 Tbsp (15-22g) matcha powder until evenly colored and blended. If the mixture seems too thick, splash in 1-2 Tbsp milk to achieve a smoother consistency.
  3. Layering Your Moss Pots: In individual clear serving cups, mason jars, or a trifle dish, alternate layers of Oreo gravel and matcha cream. Start with a 0.5-inch layer of gravel, then a 1-inch layer of matcha cream, repeating until cups are full, ending with a generous top layer of gravel. Press layers gently to avoid air pockets.
  4. Chill and Garnish: Refrigerate the assembled pots for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set firmly. Before serving, decorate with playful gummy worms, candy rocks, or fresh mint for an enchanting moss pot effect. Serve chilled.

Notes

For faster prep, use a 9×13 dish for a family-style dessert and a food processor for crushing cookies. Avoid overmixing the matcha cream to retain its airy texture and vibrant color. For dietary needs, use dairy-free cream cheese, plant-based whipping cream, and gluten-free sandwich cookies.
