Ingredients
Scale
- One 5.1 ounce package instant vanilla pudding
- 3 cups milk (to make the pudding)
- 27 graham cracker squares
- 3 large bananas, peeled and sliced thinly
- 1 pint strawberries, sliced, plus a few extra for garnish
- Canned whipped cream for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding according to package directions and set aside.
- Line an 8×8 baking pan with plastic wrap, letting the wrap extend out over the sides of the pan.
- Put 9 of the graham crackers in a single layer of the pan (don’t worry if they don’t totally cover the bottom)
- Spread 1/3 of the pudding over the graham crackers. If you have one, an offset spatula works great for this!
- Put a single layer of sliced strawberries over the custard, then a layer of sliced banana.
- Add another layer of graham crackers, then pudding, then strawberries, then banana.
- Spread the rest of the pudding on top of the bananas, then top with a final layer of graham crackers.
- Take the extended edges of the plastic wrap and bring it up over the cake, give the whole thing a light smoosh, then pop it in the fridge for at least 3 hours (and overnight is fine too!)
- When you are ready to serve it, lift the cake out using the edges of the plastic wrap as handles, and slide it on to a serving plate (I like to use a big spatula to help it along).
- Spritz the top of the cake with whipped cream, garnish with strawberries and serve it up!
