Day 4: Dirt Cake

Today seems like a dirty cake type of day! No special event....it's just Friday and who doesn't need a little sugar shock at the end of the week :)

This recipe has a few more steps than the last couple...but like I said its Friday!!

The original recipe can be found at

Ingredient list:
1.5 package of Oreo Cookies
1 (8oz) package of cream cheese
1/2 C. butter, softened
1 C. powdered sugar
3 C. milk
1 (12oz) tub of whipping cream
2 (3 1/2 oz) packages of instant pudding, chocolate or vanilla
1/2 tsp. vanilla

The original recipe can be found at thegalwaygirl.com

Step 1: Crush all sandwich cookies (the recipe calls for Oreos, but I used Great Value...cheaper but offers the same taste in the cake). Then set them a side.

Step 2: Mix together the butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.  Set aside

Step 3:  Mix together the pudding and the milk.  Then fold together the cream cheese mixture and the pudding.

Step 4:  Add whip cream to the mixture.

Step 5:  Layer the crushed cookies and the pudding mixture starting with the cookies.  3-4 layers of cookies and 2-4 layers of pudding mixture (depending on how you want it to look).

I made mine just because I love it SO much and it seemed like a good way to end the week!  You can add gummy worms to the top if its for kids & for a more adult party you could use a clean flower pot & stuff a few fake flowers on top.

I love this "cake" and like to use any excuse to make it!!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
