Oreo Dirt Cake Recipe
Another family favorite of ours is this wonderfully rich Dirt Cake Recipe. Serve this one at your next get-together and I can almost guarantee 
there won't be any leftovers.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. Oreo cookies
- 8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
- 3 Cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 12 oz. Container of Cool Whip
- 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 Small Packages of Vanilla or Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix
Crush half the package of Oreo cookies and spread in the bottom of a 9"x13" pan. Mix well the Cool Whip, softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Pour this mixture over the cookies. Mix milk, pudding and vanilla. Pour pudding over mixture in the pan. Crush the remaining half package of Oreos and scatter them over the top of the cake. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. This cake is best if made the day before you are wanting to serve it.
This is optional, but if you want the dirt cake to look more "realistic", you may garnish the top with a few gummy worms scattered over the top. There are many other ways you could dress this up if you let your creativity flow. Enjoy!

Family favorite! I do not use extract in mine. I have left out the powered sugar before or put less.

Dirt cake is wonderful but this is a bad recipe. You forgot to tell us to make the pudding.

I’m sorry, but making the pudding is in the directions of the recipe. Right where it says “Mix milk, pudding and vanilla”. Just give it a few minutes to set and pour it over the contents in the pan.

The cream cheese mixture was thick and hard to spread, and the vanilla pudding and vanilla extract was a yellow color and therefore didn’t look too good on top of the cream cheese mixture. Overall it tasted great, just didn’t look very good.

Chastity, did you soften the cream cheese first? If I forget to let it sit out to soften, I will soften mine in the microwave. 30-40 seconds usually does the trick. If it is left too hard, then yes, it hard to mix as well as spread. Otherwise, I’ve never had a problem.
I’ve never had a problem with the vanilla pudding and vanilla extract discoloring to a yellow color when I made this. I’m sorry that it happened to you though. Glad it still tasted ok in the end.
@Joe, yes, you leave the cream in the Oreo cookies.
