No-Bake Cream Layer Cake

No-Bake Cream Layer Cake

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:

   • Whisk the cold milk and vanilla pudding mix in a large bowl until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes). Set aside.
   • Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together in another bowl until creamy.
   • Fold the cream cheese mixture into the pudding until fully combined.
   • Gently fold in 2 cups of whipped topping for a lighter, airy texture.

2. Assemble the Cake:

   • Spread a thin layer of whipped topping in a 9×13-inch dish to prevent sticking.
   • Arrange a single layer of graham crackers or vanilla wafers, breaking pieces to fit as needed.
   • Spread 1/3 of the cream filling over the crackers.
   • Repeat this process for two more layers of crackers and cream, ending with a layer of cream filling on top.

3. Add the Topping:

   • Spread the remaining whipped topping over the topmost layer of cream.
   • Sprinkle grated chocolate or cocoa powder over the whipped topping. Add chopped nuts or shredded coconut if desired.

4. Chill:

   • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. This will allow the layers to meld and the crackers to soften.

5. Serve:

   • Slice into squares and serve chilled. Each bite will be a luscious blend of cream and softened graham crackers.
