Dirt Cake~ submitted by Kari P. of Orem, Utah~
1 Package of Oreos
1 package of gummy worms
2 small packages of vanilla pudding
3 cups of milk
1 container of Cool Whip
8 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup of butter
3/4 cup of powdered sugar
Cream together cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar. Mix separately the vanilla pudding packages, milk and cool whip. Add the two mixtures together. Set aside. Crush oreo cookies.
Use a flower pot or individual clear cups to display. Layer oreo cookies and filling mixture in your dish. You can hide gummy worms in between the layers. Put a few gummy worms on top.
The oreo cookies will resemble a dirt mixture.
Fake out your guests! It is fun to set this dessert in the middle of the table as a centerpiece. Use a flower pot. You can turn the cool whip lid upside down inside the flower pot so the mixture will not run out the
bottom.
Place some fresh flowers into the mixture. I like to use plastic wrap around the bottom of the flower so the dirt cake does not get dirty. Announce that for dessert everyone will be
eating the flower! Use a clean garden trowel to scoop out the mixture.
