Dirt Cake (oreo)

You can make this recipe in a truffle bowl, or in individual cups.  Kids love to decorate with gummy worms or pieces of chocolate.  You can also decorate with artificial flowers to make it look like a flower pot.

To make this a lighter recipe, replace the milk and cream cheese to fat free.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 (3.5 oz) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
• 3 1/2 cups milk
• 1 (12 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• Reduce fat Oreos cookies
• Chocolate cake (prepared ahead)

Preparation

1. Cream butter and cream cheese, then add sugar and continue to mix
2. In a separate bowl mix milk, pudding, and then add whipped topping.
3. Combine pudding mixture and cream mixture together.
4. Chop cookies very fine in food processor (the white cream will disappear)
5. Time to layer: starting with cake, then cream mixture, then crumbled oreos
6. Repeat layers.  In truffle bowl you can make 3 layers.  In cup 2 layers will fit well.
7. Chill until ready to serve.
8. Add artificial flower, chocolate chunks, or gummy worms.
