Provided by Karlynn Johnston

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 cup salted butter (melted)
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 cup icing sugar ((confectioners sugar))
one 1 litre/16-ounce tub frozen whipped topping (thawed)
two 110 grams/3.9 ounces packages chocolate instant pudding
3 cups milk

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 °F
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, white granulated sugar, and the melted butter until the crumbs are moistened completely. If you find that the crumbs aren't coming together, melt another 2-3 tbsp of salted butter and then add, mixing until they stick together well. See notes.
  • Take out two tablespoons of the graham crumb mixture and set aside to use as a topping later.
  • Press the rest of the graham crumb mixture into an even layer in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake the bottom crust for 10 minutes.
  • Remove and cool completely while preparing the other layers.
  • Beat the softened cream cheese and icing sugar together until completely smooth.
  • Fold in half of the whipped topping until blended in.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust carefully, making sure not to pull up any crumbs into the layer while spreading it out.
  • Place the contents of the two pudding packages into a large bowl and add in the 3 cups of milk. ( yes it will say four on the package, we are making it thicker than usual for the dessert.
  • Spread the chocolate pudding carefully over the cream cheese layer, trying not to mix the two.
  • Take the remaining whipped topping and spread over top of the pudding layer.
  • Sprinkle the whipped topping with the reserved graham crumbs.
  • Chill in the fridge for 2 hours, then slice and serve.

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 1 Cake, 15-25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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.
