Icebox Cake (Ice Box)

Although it truly isn’t a cake, it makes a tasty dessert in the summer because it is chilled. Another benefit is no oven to heat up the house.

INGREDIENTS:

2/3 box graham crackers (plain)*
3 (3.5 oz.) pkgs. vanilla Jell-O pudding & pie filling (Cook & Serve, Not Instant)
5-1/4 cups whole milk
5 Ripe Bananas

PREPARATION:

Prepare pudding & pie mix according too directions.

Place one single layer of graham crackers in the bottom of an ungreased 9x13" baking dish. Do not crumble, but leave the crackers whole. Fill in gaps with crackers broken in as necessary. Spoon ½ of the pudding over the crackers and spreading evenly. Slice ¼” slices from the bananas. And spread evenly over the pudding almost touching. Repeat with a second layer of crackers, pudding and bananas. Top with graham crackers crumbs.

Chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to set up. Cover with plastic wrap and chill another 2 hours before serving. Chilling overnight would be even better.

* If you can’t find plain, substitute Honey Graham.
