Kansas City Dirt Cake Recipe


Kansas City Dirt Cake Recipe

Ingredients

Cookie “Dirt”

  • 1 family-size package Oreos (about 18 oz), crushed
    KC versions often use the full big package for thicker layers.

Filling

Instructions

1. Crush the Cookies

  1. Place Oreos in a large zip-top bag or food processor.

  2. Crush until they resemble soft soil—KC versions usually leave a few small chunks for texture.

  3. Set aside 2 cups of crumbs for the top layer.

2. Make the Creamy Base

  1. In a big mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy.

  2. Add powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla; beat until creamy.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk pudding mixes with cold milk until thickened (1–2 minutes).

  4. Fold the pudding mixture into the cream-cheese mixture.

  5. Fold in the whipped topping just until blended—do not overmix.

KC-style dirt cake is known for being VERY fluffy, so keep the folding gentle.

3. Layer the Dirt Cake

  1. In a 9×13-inch dish, sprinkle a generous layer of cookie crumbs on the bottom.

  2. Add half of the creamy filling.

  3. Add another thick layer of cookie crumbs.

  4. Add the remaining filling.

  5. Finish with a heavy, even layer of crumbs on top—Kansas City versions tend to use lots of “dirt.”

4. Chill

Cover and refrigerate for 4–6 hours.
Overnight is ideal—KC cooks almost always prepare it the night before events.
