Sand Dessert: A Foodie Fake Out
Sand dessert is a foodie fake out that everyone is sure to enjoy! I love cute and creative treats like this. Have you seen those little hamburgers that are made out of cookies? I wanted to make something cute and clever so I decided to make Sand Dessert. It’s 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 be baked and it makes quite an impression at parties...I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients are as follows:
1 (18-20 oz.) vanilla cream 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!
