How to Make Oreo Dirt Cake

Oreo dirt cake is a good option when you are looking for a quick and easy dessert that does not even require any cooking. Make this dish in the summertime for a cool treat. It is also a good option for a children's party, especially when you layer it in a plant pot and add gummy worms on top. Even novice cooks can create an Oreo dirt cake that their friends and family members will enjoy.

Things You'll Need

• 1 large pkg Oreo cookies
• Plastic flower pot
• 8 oz. cream cheese
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 bowls
• Mixer
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 container whipped topping
• 2 pkgs. instant vanilla pudding
• 3 cups of milk
• Gummy worms

Instructions

1. Crush your Oreo cookies. They do not have to be completely crushed, so if you have some chunks, you can leave them. Place half of the cookies in the bottom of a clean plastic flower pot.

2. Beat the cream cheese and softened butter in a separate bowl until they are smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar until the mixture is creamy. Fold the whipped topping in with the mixture, being gentle so that the mixture remains fluffy.

3. Place the pudding mix in a separate bowl and stir in the milk. Gently fold the cream cheese, butter, sugar and whipped topping mixture in with the pudding. Make sure the two incorporate well, but do not over mix because you don't want to lose the fluffy texture.

4. Pour the mixture over the cookie crumbs in the plastic flower pot.

5. Top the mixture with the remaining cookie crumbs.

6. Place gummy worms on top for a whimsical touch.
