Dirt Cakes
Ingredients
- 4½ cups gluten-free chocolate cookie crumbs
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup plus 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided use
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 cups heavy cream
- Gluten-free gummy worms, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the cookie crumbs, melted butter, and 6 tablespoons granulated sugar. Divide half of the mixture between 8 large wine glasses or dessert bowls.
- Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until soft and smooth. Add the remaining ½ cup granulated sugar, pumpkin, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat until fully combined and smooth. Whip the cream with clean beaters until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture. Spoon or pipe the mixture into the glasses over the cookie crumbs. Sprinkle the remaining cookie crumb mixture over the top. (Can be made up to 3 days ahead. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.)
- Before serving, stick a few gummy worms into each glass.
