3 recipes sweetened whipped cream, or one 16 oz. carton frozen whipped topping, thawed

Preparation

Step 1

If using a flowerpot with a drainage hole, reserve 1 cookie to place over hole to prevent leaking. Place remaining cookies in the bowl of a food processor. Process until mixture resembles dirt. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and butter, and stir until creamy. Set aside. In another large bowl, whisk together instant pudding mixes and milk; stir until well blended. Using a rubber spatula, fold pudding mixture into cream cheese mixture. Fold in whipped cream. In a flowerpot or bucket with a 5 quart capacity, alternate layers of cookie “dirt” and pudding mixture, starting and ending with cookie “dirt”. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Garnish with candy.
