Do dirt cups have to be refrigerated?

Yes. Since they’re made with pudding and whipped topping, dirt cups must be refrigerated to stay safe and fresh. Chill them right after assembly and keep them cold until you’re ready to serve. They’ll stay good in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Do dirt cups get soggy?

They can, especially if the cookie crumbs sit too long on the pudding. To avoid sogginess: Add cookie “dirt” and decorations just before serving. Store pudding layers and toppings separately if prepping ahead. Keep cups chilled and covered to maintain texture.
