Cooking With Kids: No Bake Sand Cake Recipe

momstown Oakville has been exploring all things desert this month and so for our Junior Chef program, Oakville moms and kids made Sand Cake!  This recipe is a great, no bake treat that kids can almost do all themselves.

What You Need:

1 12-ounce box Vanilla Flavoured Wafers
1 8-ounce container Cool Whip
2 3-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 4-ounce package vanilla or chocolate instant pudding mix
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How To Assemble:

Make the "sand" by crushing the Nilla Wafers with a potato masher or in a food processor. Combine the Cool Whip, cream cheese, pudding mix, milk, and vanilla. Layer a fifth of the crumbs in the bottom of a large, clean sand pail. Top with a third of the pudding mixture, then a layer of crumbs. Continue layering, ending with crumbs. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Decorate with the candy shells, if desired.

Kids love getting in the kitchen and this month's group of momstown Oakville Junior Chefs were no different!   Join momstown Oakville to see what cooking events we have coming up - click here for your free trial.
