My kids love to play in the dirt. For their last Birthday party, we had a dirt/bug theme. It was definitely a blast! The kids thought the food was really dirt, and were surprised that we ate them. It was a really good prank…until they realized it was a prank and ate all of the pudding.

Steps in making this Easy Edible Dirt Pudding Recipe

Step 1

Bake the brownies as directed, only add an extra egg and an extra tablespoon of water to the batter. This will make the brownies more cake-like and dryer – perfect for crumbling.

Step 2

While that is baking, heat the cream to make your mousse. Heat it until it is starting to steam, add the eggs and beat on high.

Step 3

While it is mixing add a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder.

Step 4

Place the cream mix into the refrigerator to set while your brownies finish baking and cool completely.

Step 5

At least an hour later, when the brownies are room temp and the cream is chilled, crumble the brownies, mix the cream into the brownie crumbles till everything is moistened.

Step 6

Reserve some of the brownies crumbles and pour them on top of the wet dirt. You can either add bugs to the top of your dirt, or we had some containers so the kids could serve themselves their own bugs.
