Dirt Cake
20 ounce package Oreo® Cookies 2 (3 1/2 ounce) vanilla instant pudding 3 1/2 cups milk 16 ounce carton Cool Whip® 8 ounce package cream cheese 1/2 cup butter 1 cup powdered sugar Chop cookies up in a blender or food processor and set aside. Make pudding according to directions. Stir in Cool Whip. Mix cream cheese, butter and sugar together in separate bowl making sure that all lumps are dissolved. Combine pudding mixture with cream cheese mixture by stirring together. Use a deep glass bowl and layer the cream mixture with the chopped cookies beginning and ending with the cookies. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Hints: This dessert always goes first at gatherings. Kids especially love this! You can make this dessert even more fun by doing the following: Line a clay or plastic flower pot with plastic wrap. Layer the cookie and cream mixture in the pot ending with the cookies. Before serving, stick a plastic or silk flower in the top of the pot. Take a few gummy worms and stick in the top of the mixture leaving just the top of their heads peeking out! This will look like a real potted flower! Please make sure to bring extra gummy worms along as there is always a struggle over who gets the worm! -------------------- |
