Birthday Dirt Cake !!

As you all know, Ethan celebrated his 6 year old birthday the past Saturday. Today, he is going to celebrate his birthday at his daycare with all his little friends. He requested an Oreo cookie cake and since he already had his Oreo cookie ice cream cake on his actual birthday, I am not going to buy one more. Instead, I found this super cute recipe for a birthday dirt cake made of Oreo cookies. Even better, something homemade and something really cute to enjoy. This birthday dirt cake requires no baking at all and was assembled within 30 minutes. Super easy and fool proof. So if you are looking for a simple and yet cute kids birthday idea, here is one for you !!!!

Birthday Dirt Cake, adjusted & adapted by Dianasaur Dishes

1 box Oreo Cookies
2 cups whipping cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 small package instant Oreo pudding
2 cups milk
Gummy worms
Fresh herbs or flowers

Step 1:

Place the cookies in a food processor and grind until finely crumbled and looking like dirt.

Step 2:
In a mixer bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until thick. Remove to another bowl and chill while you make the pudding. Use the same mixer bowl and whisk again to whisk the milk and pudding. Chill for 5 minutes.

Step 3:

Fold the cream into the pudding gently.

Step 4:

Assemble the cake: Put a layer of cookie mixture in the bottom of the flower pot or beach bucket, add the cream mixture, and then another layer of cookie crumbs. Repeat the same with your remaining flower pot or beach bucket.

Step 5:
Chill for a few hours. Decorate with gummy worms, herbs and/or flowers and serve with a shovel if you decide to use beach buckets.

Enjoy !
