GRAHAM CRACKER PUDDING

Graham Cracker Pudding image

This cool and creamy no-bake dessert is so good. With all its layers, this version of an eclair cake reminded us of a graham cracker pudding lasagna. The peanut butter was an added flavor we loved and it also protected the crackers from becoming completely soft. A very thin layer of chocolate pudding on top is the perfect touch....

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 box graham cracker
2 box vanilla pudding (large, 5.1 oz each)
1 box chocolate pudding (small, 3.9 oz)
1 jar(s) peanut butter
1 pkg softened Cool Whip (8 oz)

Steps:

1. Go ahead and prepare puddings according to package instructions. Prepare vanilla pudding and set aside.
2. Prepare the chocolate pudding.
3. Next, spread peanut butter on graham crackers. Place the first layer of graham cracker/peanut butter on the bottom of 9x13 pan (peanut butter side up).
4. Then spread 1/3 of the vanilla pudding on top of that.
5. Then spread a layer of Cool Whip (works best if soft) on top of vanilla pudding.
6. Continue layering in order as above.
7. Layer until there's just enough room to spread chocolate pudding on top as a finish (use chocolate pudding to top the dessert only).
8. Crush remaining graham crackers. Sprinkle them over the chocolate pudding for garnish.
9. Refrigerate 1-2 hrs or until graham crackers are soft.
10. You can use any flavor graham cracker you wish and honestly whatever flavor pudding you wish. I have used cinnamon crackers with cream cheese pudding and it was great. Whatever you prefer.
11. You can also make your puddings from scratch with this recipe if it's what you prefer. But that requires more effort and time so this is the quick version.

GRAHAM CRACKER CAKE (NO BAKE, 5 INGREDIENTS)

Graham Cracker Cake (No Bake, 5 Ingredients) image

This no-bake graham cracker cake is made with just 5 ingredients and is an amazing copycat of an intricate honey layer cake. The fluffy sour cream frosting makes the cake really tender and the sweet graham crackers pair so nicely with the tangy frosting.

Time 15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

14 oz box honey graham crackers
2 1/2 - 3 cups heavy cream, chilled (2 1/2 cups if making 3 graham cracker cake layers, 3 cups if making 4 layers)
1 cup powdered sugar, divided (or to taste)
2 lbs sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
shaved/grated chocolate, on top of the cake

Steps:

In a large bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix the sour cream with the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gently fold the whipped cream into the sour cream mixture until combined. Add more sugar if you have a sweeter taste preference.
Spread about 1 1/2 cups of the frosting to cover the bottom of a 9 X 13 inch pan. Top with a layer of graham crackers, breaking the crackers as necessary, so the crackers fit like a puzzle in a single even layer. Top with more frosting, about 2 cups (it doesn't have to be exact), spreading the frosting to cover the graham crackers.
You should have these layers in the end: 1 1/2 cups frosting, graham crackers, 2 cups frosting, graham crackers, 2 cups frosting, graham crackers, remaining frosting.
Grate a chocolate bar on top of the last layer of frosting.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight before serving. You can make the cake up to 2 days in advance.

Time 20m

Yield 1 Cake, 15-25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) box honey graham crackers (Not sure of what size box I use just the one with three packages in it, had to put something or it w)
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
4 cups milk
2 pints heavy whipping cream
chocolate syrup, to decorate

Steps:

Make both the Vanilla and Chocolate pudding as directed on the box.
Take the whipping cream and mix on high speed until it becomes the consistency of cool whip.
Mix the whipping cream and the vanilla pudding together.
Start layering graham crackers covered with chocolate and vanilla pudding, alternating between the two flavors. I always use a rectangular serving platter.
When Chocolate pudding is gone use remaining vanilla pudding mixture to cover the entire cake (just like you were icing it).
Drizzle chocolate sauce in lines across the top of the cake(no need to be perfect), take a knife and drag it in the opposite direction of the syrup lines to make a nice patter.
Refrigerate the entire cake at least 3 hours.
The graham crackers will absorb the moister from the pudding and become soft like cake.
Cut on the corner going in to create a neat looking slice.
Good Luck with leftovers because there never is any.
