Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 packages cream cheese -- 8 ounces each
2 large INSTANT vanilla pudding -- 6 ounces each
1 large Cool Whip® -- 14-16 ounces each
1 package chocolate sandwich cookies -- 20 ounces
2 cups powdered sugar
3 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract


1. Combine cream cheese with powdered sugar.


2. Combine instant pudding mix with milk (do not use pudding that needs
to be cooked!)


3. Combine the cream cheese mixture with the pudding.


4. Fold in cool whip and vanilla extract.


5. In a food processor, crush cookies until they are fine crumbs.


ASSEMBLY


Using a new 10" flower pot, alternately layer the cookie crumbs with the
cream filling, beginning and ending with the cookie crumbs. Pack the
bottom of the pot well with the first layer of crumbs to eliminate leakage
of the cream filling. Refrigerate 1-2 hours.


When ready to serve, arrange fresh flowers in center of pot (wrap stems
with plastic to avoid any "real" dirt from getting into the dessert. Use
a new gardening shovel to serve.


If serving to kids, use new small sand shovels and decorate with "Gummy
worms" crawling out of the dirt !

NOTES : 1. Use the frozen Rich Whip that is already whipped in place of the
Cool Whip.

2. Osem INSTANT vanilla pudding works well in this. The other
brands do not thicken enough.
