This Easter dirt cake recipe takes minutes to put together but looks so fun and tastes absolutely delicious! It's essentially an upside down chocolate cheesecake, with a sweet chocolate cream cheese base, an Oreo 'dirt' topping, gummy worms and Easter candy decorations.
Before you start, melt the milk chocolate and set aside to cool.
Put the cream, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until thick and fluffy.
Add the cooled chocolate and whisk to combine.
Assemble
Spoon the filling into your dish and level off.
Sprinkle the Oreo crumbs on top.
Decorate with candy worms and mini eggs.
If you want to include the creme egg chick, here's what to do.
Make the chick
Place two milk chocolate buttons on a plate, side-by-side.
Put a small blob of melted chocolate between the two buttons, then stick a creme egg on top, pointy end up and hold it in place until the chocolate sets.
When the chocolate is completely set, turn the plate over, hold the egg and pour a tiny bit of hot water over the plate. Within seconds, the egg should release with the buttons attached.
Stand the chick up and use the melted chocolate to stick on milk chocolate wings.
Cut a couple of buttons into triangles and stick on to make the beak. You can add a crest, too, if you like.
Attach two white chocolate buttons for eyes and use a little black writing icing to give them pupils.
