North Pole Dirt Cake Cones

Chop the Oreos in a food processor until they become a dirt-like consistency or place them in a Ziplock bag, seal the bag and crush them by hand with a rolling pin. Set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together the milk and pudding mix until pudding mix dissolves. Place bowl in the fridge to allow the pudding to set. It will be a thick consistency. Once pudding is set, add eggnog and mix well. Then fold the whipped topping into the pudding until well blended.

Next add the cream cheese mixture into the pudding mixture and mix until fully incorporated. Place the bowl in the fridge while you assemble the poles.

Unwrap each candy cane pole in the Wilton decoration kits. Add a little dab of the cookie icing to the tops of the poles and place a red Sixlet on top. Try to hold or stand the poles upright until the cookie icing sets.

Take each North Pole sticker and adhere it to a piece of white card stock. Cut it out by hand, leaving a small white border around each sign. Place a small dab of cookie icing to the back of the card stock and adhere it to the pole. Place it upside down on a flat surface until it dries.

Set the cones on a flat surface. Add 1 tablespoon crushed Oreos to the bottom of each cone. Then add 1 tablespoon of cream filling and another tablespoon of crushed Oreos. Press down lightly with a spoon before adding the final tablespoon of cream filling. Smooth the filling with a spatula before adding the frosting. See the related blog link for step-by-step photos.

If you want, you can decorate the tops of each cone with some cookie icing to resemble icicles. Then with a spatula, frost each cone with the Cool Whip frosting. Sprinkle with the glitter sprinkles included in the kits. If you want you can also add some white sugar pearls to resemble snowballs.

Place a candy cane pole into the top of each cone. Add a candy penguin to each cone by pressing them gently into the frosting. That’s it! You are done. Dig in!
