This dirt cake has been around for awhile. It is just a fun recipe. I had family from Austria and as we ate dinner it sat in the middle of the picnic table. Of course it looked like a potted plant that I bought a specific container that was terracotta like but plastic and it happened to have no holes. Read more It looked like dirt for the last layer and I had a Plant in it that looked so real. So I started spading from the pot he was shocked until he realized, it was just fun. Or make this as a great dessert, so creamy and yummy. See less

- ½ large (1¼lb) Cream filled chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed and set aside shopping list

- 3 ½ cups milk shopping list
- 2 small (3 ½) packages vanilla instant pudding. shopping list
- 12 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed shopping list
How to make it
- Cream margarine, cheese and sugar and set aside.
- In large bowl low speed mix milk & puddings with whipped topping then blend in cheese mix.
- Layer mix: alternate layers starting with crumbs on bottom then cheese layer, crumb, cheese, ending with crumb to give the appearance of dirt.
- Add decorations to give appearance of a potted plant. (gummy worms( under the dirt), flowers, spade)
- 2-6” Flower pots- Plastic or clay if holes line with foil
- Serve with a spade
- Of course All new or set aside just for this purpose!
- Use imagination to decorate:
- Artificial flowers for top. Or Cactus, use candy pebbles etc…
- In using the plants before inserting I wrap plastic wrap around the stems.
- Variation: if you use a cactus theme you may want to use banana pudding and vanilla cookies. Use whatever pudding and cookie combination you like.
- Suggestions:
- I used 1 Large Pot to hold all the mix, or 3” pots for individual servings set at each dinner plate.
- Total yield of the mousse filling and crumb mixture is 11 cups. To determine the volume of your pot size plug the hole fill with water then measure.
