Alright friends- today’s recipe has the potential to be a gut bomb. I remember having this tasty dessert when I was little around halloween time. Tom and I had some friends over for scary movie night and decided this classic old school dessert would be the perfect ending to our evening. I’ll admit that I was slightly horrified at all of the typically southern fatty ingredients in it but managed to cut it down using mostly non fat options.
Dirt Cake
8 oz softened nonfat cream cheese
1 container nonfat cool whip
2 packets sugar free vanilla pudding
1 bag low fat Oreos
3 1/2 cups nonfat milk
2 tbs smart balance butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 bag of gummy worms
Using a hand mixer combine pudding mix and milk. Blend for about five minutes until it is starting to set. Add cool whip to the mixture until it is smooth. In a separate bowl, blend together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and butter. Stir cream cheese mixture into cool whip mixture. Meanwhile the fun part: crush up the entire bag of Oreos until it is basically crumbs. Stir about 3/4 of the crumbs into mixture and reserve the rest for topping. Pour mixture into pan, top with remaining crumbs, and cover with worms!
Enjoy!
