Golden Oreo Dirt Pudding
Golden Oreo Dirt Pudding (Golden Oreo Sand Pudding with Cool Whip)
[ShareButtons]
I love summer and I especially love the ocean. The family and I haven't had a vacation in over 10 years so I'm getting a bit antsy longing for the sound of the waves, the smell of the water and the feel of sand beneath my feet. Until then, I'll just dream with some Beach Inspired
Secret Sand
Even though the garnish looks like real sand, it's actually a dessert baker's secret, light brown sugar! All you need to do is make sure the brown sugar is fresh and it has the same light appearance of sand.
The cupcakes were bought ready-made since I didn't want to heat the house up by turning the oven on.
I chose vanilla cupcakes with a fluffy white frosting. I sprinkled some brown sugar on the top of them and added some edible sugar flowers.
Serving Surprise Beach Pail
A beach pail holds the Golden Oreo Sand Pudding. I purchased mine at the Dollar Tree and simply removed the plastic handle and replaced it with some sisal.
Before using the pail for your no-bake dessert, you'll want to wash it out thoroughly and then line it with plastic wrap.

To complete the display I placed some seashells and a starfish around the base of the pail and among the cupcakes.
