How to Make Dirt Cake
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of softened margarine until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping.
- Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, prepare your instant chocolate pudding according to package directions using the pudding mix, milk and vanilla extract. (Usually 2 cups of milk and 1 tsp vanilla)
- Add the prepared chocolate pudding to the cream cheese mixture and gently combine.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the chocolate cookie crumbs (about 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies).
- Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the crumbs.
- Repeat layers with remaining crumbs and pudding mixture.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
