pudding

I was digging through my recipe box (which I don’t use very often) and stumbled upon a favorite dessert that I hadn’t made in a while. I thought it would be perfect for our Easter dessert.

Trav’s mom gave me this recipe years ago, and I think she typically uses strawberry filling. Admittedly, I’m not a big fan of fruit fillings, so I use the pudding option!

Ingredients:

1 1/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
3 Tblsp. sugar
1/3 c. melted butter
1 – 8 oz. cream cheese
1 c. powdered sugar
1 c. whipped topping
1 box vanilla pudding and pie filling
1 box chocolate pudding and pie filling
**(Instead of pudding, you could use 2 cans strawberry pie filling)

Instructions:

Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter together in a small bowl.
Press into the bottom of a 9×13 dish.
Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and whipped topping together (I used my hand mixer)
Put on top of crumb mix in your dish.
Mix the pudding (I used my hand mixer) in a small mixing bowl (**Each pudding box called for two cups of milk—but I just used two cups total)
Put on top layer of your dish.
Chill.
After a couple of hours, I spread the remaining whipped topping on top of the layers kind of as an icing. We also had mini chocolate chips, so I sprinkled some of top of the whipped topping.
Enjoy!
