I had no idea what Icebox Cake was until I married my husband and his family presented it at someone’s birthday celebration. Apparently it was a favorite and once I had a piece I could see the appeal. There aren’t many recipes easier than this…
What’s needed:
a box of Graham Crackers – I use Nabisco Original
2 boxes of chocolate pudding mix – the kind you cook.
Milk for the pudding cooking – 8 cups needed for four boxes of pudding.
2 boxes vanilla pudding mix –
1 or two ripe bananas
How to assemble:
In large glass baking dish, place a layer of graham crackers on the bottom. Cook your vanilla pudding according to package directions, let it cool a little and then pour it on top of the first layer of grahams, gently… or the grahams will slide around. Then slice a banana thin and place the slices all over the top of the vanilla pudding layer. Add another layer of graham crackers, cook the chocolate pudding, allow it to cool some and pour on top. Crush a few remaining grahams and sprinkle across the top. Chill for atleast several hours in the refridge. Use a spatula to cut out squares … enjoy!
Apparently there are many versions of ice box cake. If you have your own version and care to share, please do so in the comments section, either via link or brief description.
Here’s a link to another kind, just as easy, completely different ingredients.. I might give it a go one of these days….just forget about the calorie counting for these desserts.. sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.
