Sand dessert is a foodie fake out that everyone is sure to enjoy! I love cute and creative treats like this. Have you seen those little hamburgers that are made out of cookies? I wanted to make something cute and clever so I decided to make Sand Dessert. It’s a dessert that looks like sand, however it’s made with cookies, cream cheese, pudding and cool whip! It’s a snap to put together since it doesn’t need to be baked and it makes quite an impression at parties...I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients are as follows:
1 (18-20 oz.) vanilla cream sandwich cookies
2 1/2 C milk
2 (3.4 oz.) packages vanilla instant pudding
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 C powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
8 ounces cool whip
1 new (7 inch) plastic pail (optional)
Directions:
Grind up the cookies; set aside.
Whisk together the milk and pudding; set aside.
Cream together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla.
Mix in the cool whip.
Fold in the pudding.
Place a layer of cookie crumbs in the bottom of the pail.
Add a layer of the pudding/cream cheese/cool whip mixture.
Continue to repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate until served. Add some cute decorations if you’d like.
Spoon some out and enjoy!
This is our favorite! Do you have something similar but a winter theme?
Thank you, I do not have a winter themed one as of now, but I will definitely try to come up with one 🙂

Cute — perfect fake out! Like the sand bucket presentation. Thanks for sharing on Busy Monday!
So cute! I wish my kids didn't have so many food allergies so i could make this when we go on vacation in a few weeks. May have to think of something cute to do in the beach pail!
