Dirt Cake

Ingredients

Yield : 10-12 servings

• 1 family pack size of Oreos (1 pound 3.1 ounces)
• ½ cup butter, room temperature
• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 3.4-ounce small packs of instant vanilla pudding
• 3½ cups milk
• 12 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
• gummy worms, optional

Method

1. Process the cookies in a food processor until they are fine crumbs
2. Alternatively you could smash them in a freezer bag with the meat mallet or rolling pin, but they won’t be as fine
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer beat the butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed
4. Set aside
5. In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mixes and milk
6. Continue to whisk for several minutes until the mixture has thickened
7. Add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture and stir to combine
8. Fold in the Cool Whip
9. Make a layer of cookie crumbs in the bottom of your trifle bowl or flower pot
10. Make a layer of the pudding mixture on top
11. Continue alternating the layers, making sure you end on a cookie crumb layer
12. If you want gummy worms throughout your dirt cake make sure you are adding them as you go
13. If you just want the gummy worms on top, I added mine on the last pudding layer and then sprinkled the last dirt cookie layer around them to make it look like they were coming out of the dirt
14. Cover and refrigerate if not serving right away
15. Decorate as desired

You can use reduced fat cream cheese, fat free milk and reduced fat Cool Whip
