Title: Flower Pot Dirt Cake
Ingredients:
– 1 package of chocolate sandwich cookies
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
– 8 oz of cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup of powdered sugar
– 2 (3.9 oz) packages of instant chocolate pudding mix
– 3 cups of cold milk
– 12 oz of whipped topping
– Assorted artificial flowers and gummy worms for decoration
Instructions:
1. Begin by crushing the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor or by placing them in a sealable plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. You want a fine crumb-like texture for the “dirt” layer.
2. In a bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter until well mixed. This will be the base of your Flower Pot Dirt Cake.
3. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a clean flower pot, creating an even layer to form the “dirt” base. Ensure the layer is packed firmly to hold its shape.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and creamy.
5. In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding and gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and well blended.
6. Pour the pudding mixture over the cookie crust in the flower pot, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Place the Flower Pot Dirt Cake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
8. Once chilled, decorate the top of the cake with assorted artificial flowers and gummy worms for a whimsical garden look. Arrange them creatively, allowing some “flowers” to peek out as if growing from the “dirt.”
9. Serve the Flower Pot Dirt Cake with a small garden trowel or spoon for a fun and interactive dessert experience that everyone will enjoy. Be ready for smiles and compliments as your guests dig into this delightful treat!
