Dirt Cake
Recipe By :Jane Heller
Serving Size : 15 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cakes
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 16-ounce packages oreo cookies
12 ounces cream cheese -- at room temperature
6 tablespoons unsalted butter -- at room temperature
4 3.9 ounces packages instant chocolate pudding
4 3/4 cups milk
1 16-ounce carton frozen whipped topping -- thawed
or
Sweetened Whipped Cream
candy -- for garnish
If using a flowerpot with a drainage hole, reserve 1 cookie to place over hole to prevent leaking. Place remaining cookies in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until mixture resembles dirt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and butter, and stir until creamy. Set aside.
In another large bowl, whisk together instant-pudding mixes and milk; stir until well blended. Using a rubber spatula, fold pudding mixture into cream-cheese mixture. Fold in whipped topping or sweetened whipped cream.
In a flowerpot or bucket with a 5-quart capacity, alternate layers of cookie “dirt” and pudding mixture, starting and ending with cookie “dirt.” Chill at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Garnish with candy.
Serves 12 to 15

Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 262 Calories; 21g Fat (74.5% calories from fat); 4g Protein; 12g Carbohydrate; 0g Dietary Fiber; 48mg Cholesterol; 113mg Sodium. Exchanges: 0 Lean Meat; 1/2 Non-Fat Milk; 4 Fat; 1/2 Other Carbohydrates.
NOTES : Not all desserts need to be baked in the oven; take dirt cake, for example, a rich confection made with ground Oreo cookies and chocolate pudding. Martha’s friend and banker Jane Heller likes to serve her dirt cake creatively; for springtime entertaining, she presents the cake in a sterilized terra-cotta pot, then inserts sunflowers (their stems wrapped in plastic) into the cake for decoration. Martha assembles her dirt cake in a plastic sand pail and garnishes it with gummy candy.
When making dirt cake, it’s important to begin and end with the ground Oreo mixture. Also, if you’ll be serving the cake in a terra-cotta pot, first sterilize the pot by placing it in the oven at 350° for two to three hours. Be sure to avoid using any pot that has been glazed.
