Dirt Cake
Our kids favorite cake!
Ingredients
- 1 to 1 1/4 lb. pkg. Oreo cookies
- 1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 cups milk
- 1 12 oz. tub Cool Whip (can use chocolate)
- 2 3 1/2 oz. pkg. instant vanilla or chocolate pudding
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 4 gummy worms and/or other critters
Instructions
Directions:
- Crush Oreos. Put 1/3 of the crushed Oreos into a new, clean flower pot. Set aside.
- Mix butter, cream cheese and sugar and vanilla together. Set aside.
- Combine milk and pudding mix. Fold Cool Whip into the pudding.
- Fold together pudding mixture and butter-cream cheese mixture.
- Layer this mixture (about 1/3 of it) onto the crumbled cookies in the pot. Next, add another layer of the pudding mixture, then another layer of cookie crumbs, continuing until all ingredients are used.
- As you're layering the ingredients, decoratively place several gummy worms and critters in the "soil" so they will be seen emerging. If you have a toy (clean) garden trowel, a plastic daisy, or some edible flowers, these can also be used creatively to embellish the presentation.
- Chill in refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
