Grandmas Icebox Cake

This Grandmas Icebox Cake is a nostalgic delight! Creamy vanilla pudding, crisp graham crackers, and Cool Whip come together for a no-bake treat.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 4 hours
Servings: 8 servings
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 10.2 ounce instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 6 cups milk
  • 14.4 ounce graham crackers
  • 8 ounce Cool Whip

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or hand mixer
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with the 6 cups of milk. Whisk together until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
  2. In your 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a layer of the prepared pudding mixture at the bottom.
  3. Arrange a layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding. Break them if necessary to fit snugly.
  4. Continue alternating layers of pudding and graham crackers until you run out of ingredients, finishing with pudding on top.
  5. Spread the Cool Whip evenly over the top layer of pudding.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Let the cake chill long enough to avoid a soggy texture.
  • Stick to Cool Whip for best results; homemade whipped cream can deflate.
  • Use low-carb substitutes for a keto version of this dessert.
