My current youngest's 1st birthday was a few weeks back. She loves to make a mess in real dirt and seems to find it tasty as well. So playing off that important activity of hers, I opted to make muddy dirt pudding. Popping a silk flower into $1 tin pots from Target, we prettified it.
See? She loves playing with dirt.
The pails even had a chalkboard label!
Following these recipes, it was simply a matter of taking the time to let them chill.
The only difference was that I swapped out arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch.

When I first told the kids about how we were eating mud for dessert, they were curious. The boys were all for it when they learned worms would also be in it. My older daughter was quite disgusted with the idea. And then I invited them in to help make the dessert...
They enjoyed the whisking and whipping a lot!
The older three kids helped fold the whipped cream into the homemade pudding.
Adding in crushed oreos definitely heightened their excitement!
I made sure to stick a worm in each pail.
The birthday girl's worm was sticking out so that we'd remember to remove it.
I'm not sure my munchkin with 4 teeth can handle a wiggly worm yet.

And done!
