0:00
I'm still thinking about Easter, and the children.
0:06
Things that the kids can do.
0:08
And I know you've all probably made that dirt cake out there
0:11
where you make it in a clay pot.
0:14
Well, Theresa was surfing the web,
0:17
and she saw a dirt cake with the same ingredients,
0:22
but just put together a little different.
0:26
And I think this will be even easier for little children,
0:29
don't you, Theresa, to do it this way?
0:30
- [Theresa] Oh yeah, that's why I picked that.
0:32
And I think it's fun with the decor.
0:34
- Yeah, yes, so I can't wait to show y'all
0:38
We're gonna start with an eight ounce package
0:39
of room temperature butter and sour cream.
0:44
- [Theresa] Cream cheese.
0:45
- I meant cream cheese. What did I say?
0:47
Sour cream? Y'all know what I'm thinking.
0:51
Now, I'm gonna put some powdered sugar in there,
0:55
and continue to mix this up.
1:05
We're gonna put that aside now for a minute.
1:07
And then we're going to come in here with our pudding mix.
1:17
And we've got two 3.4, yeah, 3.4.
1:23
That wouldn't taste so good in there though.
1:39
I'm going just do a little at the time.
1:51
(mixer whirring continues)
1:57
And it won't take this long at all,
1:59
'cause it's an instant pudding, not the cook kind.
2:07
So it'll get thicker, the more we beat it,
2:11
the thicker it'll get.
2:14
All right, I'm gonna let that sit
2:15
and get a little bit thicker.
2:17
Now I'm gonna come down here.
2:20
I think I said it earlier,
2:21
your dirt cakes always thought about being in a clay pot,
2:25
so it really looks like dirt.
2:27
This one's put together a little different.
2:31
We have got those chocolate cookies
2:34
with the stuffing in the center.
2:38
and we're gonna put that in our 13 by nine by two pan.
2:45
And this part of the dirt cake,
2:49
you wanna do this real fine.
2:53
Finer than, - [Theresa] And I beat-
2:55
- The last layer. You beat it.
2:57
- [Theresa] With that rolling thing
2:59
is what it told me to do. - Yeah.
3:01
- [Theresa] And I gonna get the rest of that out.
3:02
- Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.
3:05
'Cause I think there's some goody in that.
3:09
- [Theresa] And you probably - Like the, huh?
3:11
- [Theresa] It didn't really say what size.
3:14
You could either use the regular size Oreo,
3:17
or you could buy the family size
3:19
if you like a thicker crust. - Yeah, yeah.
3:23
- And what doesn't get used in the cake, you can eat, right?
3:31
Is nothing like one of those cookies with a glass of milk.
3:36
Bedtime, ooh, ooh. Press that into the bottom.
3:42
I'm gonna take those bracelets off. I'm going.
3:46
I'm gonna get stuck on something.
3:50
Yesterday, y'all, I mean, and I was scared.
3:56
I had a 13 by nine by two glass pan,
4:01
that's got the holes here so you can maneuver it good.
4:07
My ring got caught in that hole.
4:12
I've never ever thought about that happening,
4:18
but now I'm aware of another trap.
4:22
And I mean we worked with it for a few minutes,
4:26
and finally my jewelry is so hard to get off,
4:29
'cause of the arthritis in my knuckles.
4:34
But I finally got the ring off 'cause I couldn't,
4:37
I just couldn't work it through that slit.
4:43
All right, let's look at our pudding.
4:46
Look how thick that is. (mixer whirring)
4:57
So there's so many traps in a kitchen, y'all.
5:00
I'm going to back up a little bit, y'all,
5:02
'cause the Cool Whip I was supposed to mix in
5:08
with the cream cheese and the butter.
5:14
But it don't matter. It don't matter.
5:24
So I'm gonna come in here and get that mixed in good.
5:30
All right, so I'm gonna take our pudding
5:33
that's nice and thick now
5:35
and I'm gonna fold it into our butter and cream cheese
5:52
I think I'm gonna need a bigger spatula.
5:54
That's my little spatula that I use
5:57
to get mayonnaise out of the jar.
6:06
All right, so we're gonna pour this on top of our dirt.
6:19
so I'm gonna have to do it like this for a minute.
6:23
I just realized something, y'all.
6:27
This is not your mama's banana pudding recipe.
6:31
- [Theresa] To some degree.
6:32
- That's how we start off making nacho mamas.
6:36
And this stuff is good. Is good.
6:41
All right, and if you hadn't tried nacho mamas,
6:48
I put edible grass in my children's Easter baskets.
7:00
But I'm going to use this for our grass.
7:11
Well, I've never tasted this.
7:12
I wonder what it tastes like. Tastes like paper.
7:20
Tastes just like paper.
7:22
- [Theresa] It's supposed to be theme,
7:23
I mean, tastes like candy apple, or green apple.
7:28
- Well, maybe it does to some people.
7:35
I don't think you can expect a lot outta grass, much flavor.
7:55
All right, remember I suggested to y'all
7:59
that you don't crush this as fine as you did the bottom,
8:07
because it looks more like dirt
8:12
if it's not overly crushed.
8:18
I'm gonna need some more, Theresa.
8:20
- [Theresa] I don't have any. - Well, what am I going to do?
8:23
- [Theresa] You gotta spread.
8:25
- Well, I can't, you little buzzard.
8:27
- [Theresa] You always tell me make do. And now you're -
8:33
- I'll make do. Dadgummit!
8:37
Me and my big mouth. This is the fun part.
8:44
Actually, it says to put this in the refrigerator
8:52
But I'm not going to do that.
8:56
'Cause I think you have to have patience
8:58
to do something like that.
9:02
So we gonna hide the little eggs.
9:05
We'll hide one back over there.
9:10
And we'll hide one here.
9:14
And then we going come in and put our grass.
9:19
Get us a few tweaks of grass to hide our eggs in.
9:39
It's curved from being in that package.
9:46
The next one I do, I'm gonna,
9:53
I'm gonna put the grass in before I put in the eggs.
10:15
So, so cute. All right, let's see.
10:21
And I'm doing different color bunnies.
10:33
And you can really decorate this any way you wanna do it.
10:40
Any, any way. Put the last sprig of grass.
10:45
Listen, I could do so much grass.
10:47
To me, the grass makes it so cute. Look.
10:54
Now you know those children are going to love this,
10:57
and they would love it even more
11:00
if they get to help mommy or grandmommy,
11:06
help them to make it so cute.
11:12
- [Theresa] Love it. - Love it, too.
11:15
This is as cute as using the clay pot,
11:18
and a whole lot easier to serve like this.
11:25
Now if Olivia was eating this, she would cut it like this,
11:30
and that would be the serving size,
11:31
so everybody could have a bunny.
11:42
♪ Here comes Peter Cottondale, hopping down the bunny trail ♪
11:49
- [Theresa] I knew you were gonna sing that.
11:50
- Oh, I used to sing that to my children,
11:55
♪ Hopping down the bunny trail ♪
11:58
♪ Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way ♪
12:01
Why you looking at me like that for, Eddie?
12:04
Eddie would never sing that song with me, would he?
12:09
God bless. Happy Easter, y'all.
