Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a mixing bowl, pour in the cold milk. Add the Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix to the milk.
-
Blend Well: Using an electric mixer set at low speed, beat the milk and pudding mix together until well blended. This typically takes around 1 to 2 minutes of mixing.
-
Let it Set: Allow the pudding mixture to stand for about 5 minutes. This helps it thicken slightly.
-
Incorporate Cool Whip: Once the pudding mixture has set, gently fold in the Cool Whip Lite until fully combined. This will create a fluffy and creamy texture for your icebox cake filling.
-
Layering: Spread half of the prepared pudding mixture evenly over the layer of graham crackers in the pan, ensuring it covers the surface.
-
Add Another Layer of Graham Crackers: Place another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture, creating a second layer.
-
Top with Cherry Pie Filling: Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the layer of graham crackers, covering the surface completely with the fruity goodness.
-
Chill: Place the assembled icebox cake in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 3 hours. This allows the layers to set and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, slice the Cherry-Topped Icebox Cake into squares, and serve it up to your eager guests. Watch as they delight in every spoonful of this scrumptious dessert!
Serving Suggestions:
