Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • 9 x 13 inch STAUB Baking Dish
  • Spoon

Ingredients

  • 15 full sheets Honey Graham Crackers
  • 1 tub Cool Whip 8 oz
  • 1 ¼ cup milk I use Fairlife Skim Milk
  • 1 packet instant vanilla pudding 3.4oz
  • 1 container chocolate frosting I use Betty Crocker

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip together milk and vanilla instant pudding. Mix it together until the vanilla pudding is fully dissolved. Fold in cool whip and mix again until fluffy.

  • Carefully break the graham crackers in half if they are not already. Place 5 full graham cracker sheets + 5 ½ squares on the bottom of the pyrex dish.
  • Then spread 1/2 of the pudding mixture evenly across the top of the graham crackers. 
  • Layer the same number of graham cracker on top of the pudding. Add the next layer of pudding.

  • In another mixing bowl, add the chocolate frosting and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Be careful not to burn the frosting!
  • Pour the rich chocolate frosting on top of the final pudding 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 total time it takes to set).
