I’m sharing a favorite family dessert with you today. Trust me; once you’ve tried this delectable, velvety-smooth cake, it will have a place in your recipe file always. I am lucky if this cake lasts 24 hours in my house! It is light, and refreshing so family members come back for multiple “tastes” throughout the day.
I was given this recipe by my wonderful neighbor Lois. Lois is an amazing cook and has blessed me with many of her household recipes. They are quick and easy to prepare, and receive accolades from my boys whenever I cook one. One day Lois came over with a piece of this heavenly cake. I barely made it to the table when I was swarmed by my boys wondering what was on the plate. With forks in hand, they devoured the cake in seconds- complimenting it was the most fabulous cake they had ever tasted! Luckily, I retrieved a piece for myself to taste this gem before all was gone. My taste buds were awakened, and this became a family favorite.
I wait until pudding boxes and chocolate gram crackers go on sale for buy one get one free. This way, I get two cakes for the price of one.
1 Keebler chocolate gram box
2 large vanilla pudding boxes (4.6)
5 cups of milk
1 container of Cool Whip (8 oz.)
1 can chocolate frosting
Open packages of vanilla pudding and beat in milk. On low mixer speed, add cool whip that has been defrosted. Set aside to allow mixture to thicken. Layer on cellophane package of gram crackers on the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch pan. Don’t worry about spaces, grams will expand. Spoon on 1/2 of the pudding mixture. Top with another cellophane package of gram crackers. Spoon on remaining pudding mixture. Top with last package of gram crackers. Set in refrigerator for 1 hour. Take out and carefully frost top layer with chocolate frosting. Cover with Saran Wrap and place back in refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
