This is a yummy treat I discovered while living in Newcastle from a friend. This is called "Dirt Cake" and both of my kids decided to have this for their birthdays before Christmas. It is super easy and a few friends have asked for the recipe so I thought I'd share:
Dirt Cake
250g cream cheese
3 1/2 cups milk
1 cup icing sugar
1 1/2 cups whipped cream
2 packets instant chocolate or vanilla pudding mix
1 packet of Choc Ripple or Oreo biscuits crushed
- Beat cream cheese and icing sugar together
- In another bowl mix milk, pudding mix & whipped cream
- Combine the two mixtures carefully but thoroughly
- Put 1/3 of the biscuits in the bottom of a foil lined clay or plastic flower pot (I have used a tin bucket)
- Top with 1/2 the pudding mixture followed by 1/3 of the cookies, other 1/2 of the pudding mix and top with cookies (which looks like dirt!). Refridgerate until ready to serve.
Top with flower lollypops, sour worms, chocolate ladybirds, whatever takes your fancy and you can serve with a little spade/trowel.
Note: Light cream cheese and milk also work well (just not light cream as it won't whip). The pot should be at least 18cm high. Mine came from the Reject Shop.
Happy Cooking....Sam
Might have to try!!
