Gluten & Dairy Free Dirt Cake for Kids

makes about 20 small servings (recipe can be halved)

Ingredients

1 Cherrybrook Kitchen Chocolate Cake from the box mix, baked and left unfrosted
1 8-ounce package dairy-free cream cheese, softened
1 Earth’s Best Vegan Butter Stick, softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 packages Dr. Oetker’s Chocolate Pudding Mix
1 8-ounce can coconut milk
2 containers of Tru Whip
20 gummy worms (or more)

Instructions

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer add the cream cheese, butter, sugar, and vanilla and beat it together until light and fluffy. Then, add in the pudding mix, coconut milk, and Tru Whip and continue beating until light and fluffy.

2. Arrange the plastic cups on a tray for easy carrying. Divide the whipped mixture evenly amongst the cups so they are each ¾ full. Then, top the cups with the cake crumbs. Stick a gummy worm in each cup and try to put one end into the cup so it looks like the worm is crawling out of the whole. Alternatively, you could plant a little candy flower or something to make it look like a potted plant. Serve!
