We have been busy this week enjoying summer to the fullest potential. Lots of swimming, napping, and playing. Oh how I LOVE summer!!!
Yesterday was HOT and I always feel sorry for the boys when they have to work out in it; especially when we come home exhausted from the pool so yesterday we decided to make our favorite boys some yummy dessert cake which C calls dump truck cake.
My sister in law made this and gave me the recipe but I adapted it due to my errors and it still turned out GREAT!!! You can also put this in a flower pot and make it pretty but at our house the boys rule so dump truck cake it is!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners's sugar
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix {I used vanilla and cookies and cream pudding}
3 1/2 cups of milk
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
32 ounces chocolate sandwich cookies with creme filling {fancy way of saying DOUBLE STUFFED OREOS}
1 package of gummy worms {which I do NOT like, but the princess of our castle is out numbered again}
Directions:
Chop cookies very fine in food processor. The white cream will disappear. {I used my blender and did a rough chop}
Mix butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a bowl.
In a large bowl mix milk, pudding, and whipped topping together.
Combine pudding mixture and cream mixture together.
Layer in flower pot, or dump truck {or whatever you fancy that is clean}start with cookies then cream mixture. Repeat layers. I put the gummy worms close to the top so I could see them enough to avoid them; but you can place them wherever you would like.
Chill until ready to serve.
We took a cake to my brother when he got home from work. I miss this sweet boy so much. And yes, Cole went to town in his underwear. Oh the things I said I would never do.
I also LOVE how these boys light up when they see each other. Love them tooooo pieces!!!
Enjoy fancy friends!!!
Our school year ends in two weeks and we are making "dirt" with the kindergartners. I think your idea of using cream cheese is fantastic!
