- Sand Cake
-
- 1 three-quart plastic sand bucket
- or 3 one-quart sand buckets &
- shovels
- 1/2 cup butter (one stick)
- 2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 12 ounces frozen whipped topping
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 2 3/4-ounce packages of 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)

- 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.
