Ingredients

  • 2 3.4 oz. boxes of lemon instant pudding mix
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 16 ounces cool whip divided
  • 1 14.4 oz. box of graham crackers
  • Fresh lemon slices for topping

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pudding mixes and 3 cups milk, until combined.
  • Add half of the cool whip, and whisk until well combined.
  • To a 9x13 inch baking dish, add a layer of graham cracker sheets.
  • Pour half of the pudding mixture over top and smooth out evenly.
  • Add another layer of graham cracker sheets.
  • Top with the remaining pudding mixture, then a final layer of graham cracker sheets on top.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 6 hours, or over night.
  • Before serving, top with the remaining cool whip, and fresh lemon slices, if desired.

Notes

  • For the best texture, chill the cake overnight before serving so the graham crackers soften completely.
  • Fresh lemon zest adds a brighter, fresher lemon flavor and makes the dessert taste homemade.
  • Use full-fat milk for a creamier filling and better consistency.
