KANSAS CITY DIRT CAKE

Categories     Cheese     Chocolate     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 package Oreo cookies
8 ounces Philly Cream cheese, softened (one 8 oz pkg)
1/2 cup Margarine or butter
1 cup Powdered sugar
16 ounces Cool Whip (one 16 oz tub)
2 box White chocolate (or vanilla) pudding -- used 2 boxes white chocolate
3 cups Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Steps:

  • Crush 2/3 of a package of oreo cookies, and place in bottom of 9"x13" pan. Set aside.
  • Mix cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar, and fold in cool whip. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, mix pudding packets, milk and vanilla. Fold this mixture into cream cheese mixture. Pour over crumbs in pan.
  • Top with remaining 1/3 package of crushed oreo cookies. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Chill thoroughly: Allow the cake to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will help the layers set and make it easier to slice.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better the cake will taste. Use real butter, cream cheese, and chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a springform pan: A springform pan makes it easy to remove the cake from the pan. If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round cake pan, but you will need to carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.
  • Decorate the cake as desired: You can decorate the cake with additional chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or whipped cream. You can also drizzle the cake with chocolate sauce or caramel sauce.
