Dirt Cake
Ingredients
1 flower pot
1 garden trowel
3 gummy worms (or plastic)
1 plastic flowers, bunch
16 ounces chocolate cookies with cream filling cookies
1/2 C. butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 C. confectioner’s sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 packets instant chocolate fudge pudding (4 ounce)
3 C. milk
12 ounces whipped topping
Cooking Instructions
The cake is really a quick mix dessert made with cookies and soft squishy stuff. You may substitute vanilla pudding for the chocolate if you want, and use up to 20 ounce of Oreo’s. Crush the cookies until they resemble potting soil. Set aside. Cream the butter or margarine, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Set aside. Combine the pudding mix and milk until well blended. Then fold in the whipped topping. Gently fold the cream cheese and pudding mixtures together. To put the “cake” together, layer one-third of the cookie crumbs followed by 1/2 of the pudding mixture, 1/3 of the crumbs, the rest of the pudding mixture and topping with the balance of the crumbs. Refrigerate for 10 to 12 hours before serving. Remove from refrigerator, decorate with flowers. Serve by digging out portions with the trowel.
