I'm posting a day earlier this week because I was invited to participate in a Foodie Fake Out! Stephanie from Back for Seconds asked a few of us bloggers to come up with a recipe that looks like something else. I was so excited because I love stuff like this...especially those little hamburgers that are made out of cookies :) I decided to make Sand Dessert...a dessert that looks like sand, however it's made with cookies, cream cheese, pudding and cool whip! It's a snap to put together since it doesn't need to bake and it makes quite an impression at parties...I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients are as follows:
1 (18-20 oz.) vanilla creme sandwich cookies
2 1/2 C milk
2 (3.4 oz.) packages vanilla instant pudding
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 C powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
8 ounces cool whip
1 new (7 inch) plastic pail (optional)
Directions:
Grind up the cookies; set aside.
Whisk together the milk and pudding; set aside.
Cream together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla.
Mix in the cool whip.
Fold in the pudding.
Place a layer of cookie crumbs in the bottom of the pail.
Add a layer of the pudding/cream cheese/cool whip mixture.
Continue to repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate until served. Add some cute decorations if you'd like.
Spoon some out and enjoy!
This is A GREAT fake out! It really looks like sand!
