Vegan Dirt Cake

When my husband first mentioned he had a hankering for dirt cake, I was a little intimidated by the challenge of the normally dairy-heavy dessert. I scratched my head and wondered, how in the world would I be able to recreate a recipe that normally contains butter, cream cheese, and Cool Whip? And, yes, I’m aware there are “vegan” versions of all of those, but I refuse to replace one “naughty” food with another, so my version is quite a bit healthier.  Also, it contains fiber-rich chia seeds–betcha won’t find those in a normal dirt cake!

This recipe uses a cup of Vanilla-Coconut Chia Seed Pudding, so if you haven’t made a batch of this super-simple, super-healthy pudding yet, now’s your chance!

Author: Super Veggie Mom

Recipe type: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

• 1 package Double-Stuf Oreos
• 1 6-oz container vanilla non-dairy yogurt (I used Almond Dream)
• 4 3.8 oz containers chocolate-vanilla non-dairy pudding (I used Zen brand)
• ½ cup confectioner's sugar (can omit for a less sweet result)
• 1 cup Vanilla-Coconut Chia Seed Pudding
• handful of gummi worms (vegan or omit)

Instructions

1. Dump entire package of oreos in food processor and process until fine crumbs. The cream will blend in and disappear.
2. In a large bowl, mix yogurt, chocolate-vanilla pudding, confectioner's sugar, and chia seed pudding until smooth.
3. Now get your presentation bowl--either a big flower pot or vase, or just a clear glass bowl, and layer your cake. First put down a layer of cookie crumbs, then smooth on a layer of pudding mix. Intersperse gummi worms throughout.
4. End with a dirt layer on top and, if desired, stick a faux flower in the top for a cute presentation.
5. Store in refrigerator.
