I love some dirt cake. Seriously. L-O-V-E. I mean, any recipe that includes an entire package of Oreo cookies ranks up there, am I right? Plus, it is a super fun recipe to cook with the kids!
So without further ado, this is my Aunt’s recipe for dirt cake and it is scrum-delicious. I hope you agree!
Ingredients
- Cream together butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar.
- In a separate bowl whisk pudding, milk, and Cool Whip. Add in cream cheese mixture.
- Crush Oreos. (I like to put mine in a gallon Ziploc bag and let the boys crush them with a rolling pin, just make sure the bag is all the way closed!)
- Layer cookie and pudding mixture and chill!
Voila! Easy-peasy! I usually make mine in a trifle dish so I can see all the yummy goodness awaiting me but my aunt likes to serve hers in a clean terra cotta pot which is super cute! Gummy worms and a faux flower also maximize the cuteness when serving. My boys just love the gummy worms in the “dirt!”
I hope you love it-I’m not sure how anyone can not love dirt cake though! Let me know if you give it a try or if you have another variation!

Stopping by from Triple T Mum. Thanks for sharing on the Kids Co-op! This looks so good I just have to feature it in my Kids Co-op Showcase this week and pin to Kids Co-op board. You might want to stop by and pick up a Featured at badge.
Delicious and pretty too! I’d love for you to add it on my link party at: http://printabelle.com/?p=3717 Thanks!
I am literally eating this right now!! I will never use another recipe again! This is totally reminding me of when I was in middle school and we made this for our bake sales! MMMMMMMMMMM totally delish! Thanks for posting this and having it wind up on Pinterest!!
@mommyofgoingon4 I’m SO glad you like it! It is seriously one of my weaknesses (along with French Onion dip!) I only allow myself to make it about 2-3 times a year because I can’t stop eating it once I start!

Thanks so much for sharing with us.

I love this recipe! Would it be just as yummy with chocolate pudding instead of vanilla, I wonder?
Thanks for sharing this !
Any substitute for cream cheese? Not available where I live. Does the happy cow cheese available in a round container containing individually wrapped triangular cheese work?
I’m not sure Manny, does the Laughing cow have a sweet variety of cheese?
How about Neufchatel cheese?
I’ve never tried it Helen but I bet it would work!
Does the pudding need to be instant or regular?
I have only ever used instant pudding mix with this recipe. ~Melissa
Your Pudding seems to be white in color is that because of the whipcream and cheese cake or is there a white vanilla instant pudding
It’s just the combination with the whipped cream and cream cheese-the pudding alone has a yellowish tint.
