It is the 100th anniversary of Oreo Cookies. It is only fitting that I add the Dirt Cake recipe that we did every year in the food lab. This recipe is different than most, because I doubled the cream cheese in order to cut the too sweet taste of many recipes for dirt cake.
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
3 1/2 cups milk
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
32 ounces Oreo Cookies or some facsimile of ( in other words, Walmart brand will work fine)
Crush cookies in a food processor. The white cream will disappear. Without a food processor, you might use a rolling pin to crush the cookies between pieces of wax paper. I always leave a number of cookies in fair size chunks to add a little texture to the conglomeration!!
Mix butter, cream cheese, and sugar in bowl with the electric mixer.
In a separate large bowl mix milk, pudding and whipped topping together.
Combine pudding mixture and cream mixture together.
Layer in a 9 inch by 13 inch pan, starting with cookies then cream mixture. Repeat layers.
Chill until ready to serve. Yes! It needs to chill.
Add gummy worms if you must. Enjoy!
