Recipe Tips
For an extra chocolatey flavor, you can add a layer of melted chocolate between the Oreo crumbs and the cream cheese mixture. You can also top the dirt cake with chocolate shavings or sprinkles for some added color and texture. If you don’t have flower pots, you can use any other small containers, such as ramekins. You can also use any type of cookie you would like, such as graham crackers or gingersnaps. For a lighter version, you can use light cream cheese and low-fat milk.
