      I have seen it made using a clean flower pot and a trowel to serve it with
      you can add a plastic or silk flower if desired

      If this is a true Amish recipe, just out of curiosity, why in the world would you use margarine instead of real butter? I'm not Amish and this is sacrilege to me!

        Dirt Pudding is a pop culture recipe that has gotten passed around and, no, I doubt it's "Amish." You'd be surprised, though, how often margarine is seen in Amish kitchens, one of those mid/late 20th century food trends that caught on in some Amish settlements under the guise of it being "healthier", but real butter is my preference and you can use it in this recipe.
