An Easter Dessert to Love!
Easter is one of our favorite holidays to gather with friends and family and to have some of our favorite recipes from Deviled Eggs to Carrot Cake – and of course Easter desserts! Easter dirt cake takes our classic Dirt Cake and with a few additions, makes it an easy and delicious treat for Easter. Why we love it:
Quick prep. Easter dirt cake only takes about 15 minutes to make. It does need to chill and set in the fridge. Easy. It takes little work and the result is amazing. Delicious. If you like PEEPS and Oreos, you’ll love this Easter cake. The kids go nuts for it and adults do too!
Ingredients
Oreos – new Oreo varieties come out during the holiday, change the flavor up based on which cookies you use. No need to remove the cream filling. cream cheese unsalted butter powdered sugar Cool Whip instant white chocolate pudding – Be sure to use INSTANT pudding as the cook-and-serve kind will not set. Instead of white chocolate, use instant vanilla pudding, instant white chocolate pudding, or instant chocolate pudding mix. milk – Use whole milk or 2% milk for the creamiest texture. If you use skim milk it may be runnier than desired. vanilla extract Easter candy PEEP bunnies, edible grass, candy Easter eggs, or instead of Easter candies add Carrot Chocolate Covered Strawberries. Oreo crumbs. Use a food processor to create the Oreo crumbs or place the Oreos in a Ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin. Create fine crumbs or more chunky crumbs.

Storing info
Make ahead of time. Make this Peep Cake up to 24 hours in advance. Cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. Reserve the ⅓ Oreos (that you set aside in Step 1 in a Ziploc. To serve, add the Oreo layer on top and decorate with Easter toppings. STORE. Cover Easter Dirt Cake tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The candies may need to be removed to do this. FREEZE. This dish can be frozen, but it does not thaw into its original state. For this reason, I do not recommend freezing it when you wish to make it ahead of time, only freeze leftovers. Remove any Easter candies and divide the leftovers into individual serving containers. Freeze for 1 month. Thaw on the counter and eat like ice cream.
