Oreo Dirt Cake

A classic recipe from my childhood and a family favorite at our house. So, grab your apron and let’s dig into the delectable world of Oreo dirt cake!

Ingredients:
To create this scrumptious Oreo dirt cake, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Instructions:

Prepare the Oreo Cookie Crumbs:

Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until you achieve fine crumbs. Set aside a handful of crumbs for garnishing later.

Create the Cream Cheese Mixture:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Prepare the Pudding Layer:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens.

Assemble the Oreo Dirt Cake:

Now it’s time to layer the ingredients. Begin with a generous layer of the Oreo cookie crumbs at the bottom of your serving dish.
Next, spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on top of the cookie crumbs, ensuring even coverage.
Follow with a layer of the chocolate pudding mixture, spreading it carefully to create a smooth surface.
Repeat these layers until you’ve used up all the ingredients, finishing with a layer of the cream cheese mixture.

Finishing Touches:

To add a touch of whimsy, sprinkle the reserved Oreo cookie crumbs over the top layer, giving it the appearance of “dirt.”
If desired, decorate with gummy worms, shovel-shaped cookies, or any other garden-themed decorations to enhance the playful presentation.

Chill and Serve:

Cover your Oreo dirt cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
When ready to serve, cut into slices and enjoy the delightful layers of chocolatey goodness and creamy indulgence.
