Sand Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 three-quart plastic sand bucket or 3 one-quart sand buckets and shovels
  • 1/2 cup butter (one stick)
  • 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 ounces frozen whipped topping
  • 3 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 3/4-ounce packages instant vanilla pudding (other flavors may be used)
  • 1 20-ounce package vanilla wafers, crushed
  • Beach Bears, Gummy Worms, and/or Gummy Sharks for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Using soapy water, wash sand buckets and shovels, rinse them and dry them, then set them aside. On a microwave safe dish, place butter. Place in microwave on defrost (or 30% power) for 1 minute. Put butter in large mixing bowl. Repeat softening process with cream cheese and add to mixing bowl. (Note: you can also place butter, cream cheese, and whipped topping on the counter for 1 hour to soften them.) Mix butter and cream cheese together. Uncover frozen whipped topping and place in microwave on defrost (or 30% power) for 1 to 2 minutes. In a medium-size bowl, add milk. Sprinkle pudding over milk and whip or beat until thickened, about 1 minute. Add pudding and whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth using a wooden spoon or electric mixer. In a food processor, process vanilla wafers until they form a fine even crumb. Or place wafers in a plastic bag and roll them, using a rolling pin, until you have completely broken them up. In the buckets, place a layer of crushed vanilla wafers, then a layer of the cream cheese-pudding mixture. Keep layer until full and end with a layer of crushed wafers. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate several hours. Before serving, decorate with Beach Bears, Gummy Worms, or Sharks if desired. Use shovel to serve. Serves 8-10 people.
