 This is Collard Valley Cooks. I grew up in Collard Valley, Georgia, Northwest Georgia. That's where I learned to cook. And this is where you'll learn to cook like my mama did. Hey y'all, it's Timmy with Collard Valley Cooks. Did you ever get up and just feel like dirt? Today, I have felt like dirt. So guess what I'm making? A dirt cake. I'm making a cake. And I came in, and somebody from the church had brought me dinner. And they had brought me a dessert that I'd never had before. Dirt cake. Loved it. So I'm going to show you how easy and simple it is to make on these days when you just feel like dirt. We're going to make some pudding in a minute. But I'm going to use this deep bowl for the pudding so it doesn't splatter all over the place. And we are going to use this shallow bowl for the first part of our dirt cake. We're going to be using 8 ounces of cream cheese. And it needs to be softened or at room temperature. And let's not waste any. We'll get every little smidgen. We're going to use a half cup of powdered sugar. Now we're going to add 8 ounces of cool whip. Yes, cool whip. I know who raised you, but I know my people ate cool whip. And I know a lot of them women at church ate it too. First step done. How easy was that, y'all? And we're just going to leave the beaters on the mixer. Set this to the side. And now we're going to mix up some instant pudding. This is a three cup pudding mix. But when you're making pies and stuff, you add less milk. So we'll be adding in a large pack of jello instant pudding. It is 5.1 ounces. We'll be adding two cups of milk instead of three. Two cups of milk. Because you want it to be nice and thick and set up like it should. We just went to Walmart. Got some milk. Down here, they don't have Mayfield, where we moved to. They have Mayfield ice cream, but they don't have any Mayfield milk. So there's one cup. They make their dirt cake with chocolate pudding. But if you're going to have Oreos, I like vanilla. I know we're on video, but I'm going to show you how to use your scents when you're cooking. So you don't have to clean up the mess. OK, you can put it in the sink. But now that would make a very good video, would it? But if you cut right, then it's not all over the place. So it'll be in about two or three minutes, really. What's left? Smashing these Oreos. Yummy. I think I'll save out three for cookies and milk. When I was young, y'all, y'all know the girls started college this week. It reminds me of being young. And when I was young and I was single every night before I went to bed every single night, I had three Oreos and a cup of milk. That was just my treat every night. So I had to have a dessert every day. So lots of times it was just Oreos. Or we're going to crush these up. I'm going to get a gallon bag. 10 ounces, and this is 14. So I'm just going to leave a few cookies in here, not many. About six, just enough for us to have a snack with them. And so I'm going to close it up. And we are going to use the rolling pin. We're going to crush these up right now. I got my marble one. These are kind of expensive to buy. So if you don't want to spend much on them, go to a thrift shop and get one like I did. But with COVID, like it is, sometimes it's better just to shop on Amazon. So I hadn't done much of nothing. So I thought, man, I have really felt like dirt. I guess I can make a dirt cake. It's easy, fast, and oh my gosh, it's one of my very favorites. I'm trying to decide which pan should I use, a small pan or a large pan? I would say a small pan because there's not a whole lot of this cream for the bottom. So we'll use the smaller pan. Let me bring y'all up a little closer. One of our baby spatulas here, just heard a bird. Y'all hear that bird? This in first, I chose the smaller pan so it'd be thicker. My layers would be thicker. She just dumped, when she brought it to me after having a baby, she just dumped it in a Tupperware dish. Boy, I kept going back and going back to that thing. Chris liked it, but I loved it. I'm just like my mama. Anything that's got cool whip and cream cheese and pudding in it, I just love. We love it. All right, here's the vanilla pudding. This is the perfect size. I don't even know how big it is. I'll pick it up and see how many ounces it is for y'all or quarts or whatever you call it, cups. It's a Pyrex set. You get three sizes. Here goes the Oreos. We're going to measure this. You can pick it up, Chris, we'll measure it for them so that y'all can see it. It looked like on the bottom. It said eight by eight, but there ain't no waste. Not the same size from one side to the other. It's on the bottom. It's an eight by six by two inches deep. I think it says it was two liters, but here in America, we don't really go by liters. So I don't know what that's supposed to mean. Just one second, y'all. Let me wipe off this table and then we're going to dip out some. Oh, if y'all want to know where this recipe came from, it's a combination of robbies and it's Terry West and Robbie Buffington from Rising Fawn Baptist Church. That's up in the very corner of Northwest Georgia. Got it out of my church cookbook. It's just a dog cake. It's messy, messy and good. Look at that. You can see the cream cheese and the pudding and the delicious Oreos and layers. Yummy. Yeah, we were going to this church when May was born Rising Fawn Baptist. Chris has got some memories. Tell them a little bit about Lookout Mountain and Rising Fawn. Oh, that's where I grew up. We grew up there. We lived there until I was about 13 years old. We left, but Rising Fawn was in the valley. We lived up on Lookout Mountain, but. Tell them what brought us to Trenton. Oh, we went there because, there's something on my face. No, honey. We went there because that's when I was coaching football. And we moved up there. I got a job up there. And we were there, what, two years? So. We were young, full of energy. That was a good place to live. It was wonderful back then. It's still wonderful. We just don't have, where are you going? To get us there. We're still, we just, I thought he was running off and leaving me. He did that when we got married. Tell them what you did when we got married. I got sick and had to leave. But he left the sanctuary during the wedding. Boy, he better be glad he come back. Oh, yes. Makes me think of us back then. Let's taste this. See if it reminds me of having a baby. How does that taste for a dirt day? Pretty good. We'll see y'all later. What are you doing? I'm gonna take this and eat it. Oh, he don't eat the whole thing. Thanks for watching Color Valley Cooks. Where we cook? Like mama did. Bye, y'all. Love ya.
