Circus Animal Cookies
- 2 cups crushed Circus Animal Cookies
Cream Cheese Mixture
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup whipped topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Base: Start by crushing the circus animal cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this in a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin. Set aside some cookie crumbs for topping later.
- Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and milk, mixing until you achieve a creamy consistency. Then fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
- Layer the Ingredients: In a 9×13 inch dish, start by layering half of the cookie crumbs at the bottom. Then, spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the cookie layer. Repeat the layering process with the remaining crumbs and cream cheese mixture.
- Chill and Set: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the layers to meld together for maximum flavor.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth and lump-free mixture.
- Don’t skip the chilling time to help set the layers and enhance the flavors.
- Gently fold the whipped topping to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less powdered sugar.
- Experiment with cookie types for exciting variations.
