- 9 full sheets Honey Graham Crackers
- 1 cup Lite Cool Whip
- ½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 3 tbsp sugar free instant vanilla pudding
- ½ cup chocolate frosting
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
In a mixing bowl, whisk together room temperature cool whip, vanilla almond milk, and vanilla instant pudding. Mix it together until the vanilla pudding is fully dissolved. It should be a fluffy mixture and easy to spread.
Carefully break the graham crackers in half if they are not already. Place six square crackers on the bottom of the cake dish.
Then spread ⅓ of the pudding mixture evenly across the top of the graham crackers.
Layer six more graham cracker squares on top of the pudding. Then add another ⅓ of the pudding mixture. Add the last layer of the graham crackers and then the rest of the pudding mixture (the last ⅓ ).
In another mixing bowl, add the chocolate frosting and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Be careful not to burn the frosting!
Remove the frosting from the microwave and whisk in the protein powder until combined. The mixture will be THICK. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk to ensure that the protein powder is distributed throughout.
Pour the chocolate frosting on top of the final cracker layer and cover it with tinfoil. Refrigerate your Pudding Ice Box Cake for 2-3 hours or until the frosting is hardened. (You can also place in the freezer to expedite the process).
To serve, slice your Eclair Refrigerator Cake in 6 equal pieces cutting in line with the graham cracker squares to minimize crumbling. Enjoy!
Store in the dish you made your Pudding Icebox Cake in for up to 5 days.
The protein powder in this dessert is totally optional AND, there are a two ways that you can incorporate it.
- The protein powder mixed into WARM frosting. You may need 1-2 tsp of almond milk.
- Mix the protein powder with the milk BEFORE adding it to the mixture or use a Fairlife nutrition plan milk for even more protein.
- Omit and just enjoyed the lighted up version of this eclair.
