Sunday Stills ~ Favorite Recipe

 

This week’s Sunday Stills Challenge is to share photos of your favorite recipe or restaurant. I chose to photograph a dessert recipe that is a perfect Spring tradition and that is also a show-stopping centerpiece at any potluck, party or special meal.

To prepare, you’ll want to purchase a new flowerpot, a spade and a faux floral arrangement. Wash them in hot soapy water before use.

Then gather all your ingredients.

Spin the Oreo cookies in a food processor.

But don’t do like I did and stuff too many cookies inside or you may end up breaking one of your blades.

Spin or Pulse cookies until they become crumbs.

You’ll want between 4-5 cups of cookie crumbs.

Mix your instant pudding with milk until it thickens.

 

Fold in the whipped topping.

Set the pudding/whipped cream mixture aside.

 

Cream together cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar.

 

Blend the cream cheese mixture into the pudding mixture.

Place a plastic lid inside the flower pot.

 

Spread a layer of cookie crumbs in the bottom of the flower pot.

 

Follow it up with a layer of pudding/cream cheese mixture on top.

 

Continue layering until you are about 2” from the top of the flower pot. Your last layer will be cookie crumbs.

Gummy Worms are optional, but fun, so don’t forget to buy some.

 

You know you want one. Go ahead. I dare ya!

Stick your flowers inside the “dirt” and place worms on top of dirt and peeking out of the flower pot.

Refrigerate or freeze for a few hours or overnight. Then serve with a gardening spade.

 

Mmmm! Doesn’t that look yummy? My kidlets call it “Dirt Dessert”. It doesn’t last long in our house.

 

The recipe came from a wonderful cookbook published locally as a fundraiser.

 

You can’t go wrong with this recipe. It’s easy to make with simple ingredients. It’s fun, creative and delicious! Here’s the recipe for you to try.
