Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 9- ¼ cup key lime juice ((or sub with regular lime juice))
- Optional garnish: green sprinkles, lime zest, lime wedges, fresh berries
- Zest from 2 small limes ((about 1 tablespoon))
- 12 graham crackers ((or more as needed))
- 1 (3.4 ounce) box instant French vanilla pudding mix
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 4 ounces (half of a block) cream cheese, (softened at room temperature)
- 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed, (divided)
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 ½ - 2 minutes. Add the dry pudding mix and lime juice; mix until well combined. It will be very thick, which is fine! Gradually add the milk, mixing constantly, until the mixture is completely combined. It should look like a thick pudding at this point; a few little lumps are fine. Mix in the lime zest.
- Step 2
Gently fold in half of the Cool Whip, being careful not to stir too vigorously, which will deflate the light, airy texture.
- Step 3
Spread about ¼ cup of the pudding mixture in a very thin layer in the bottom of a deep 8-inch square dish. Add a layer of graham crackers, breaking the crackers as needed.
- Step 4
Spread ⅓ of the remaining pudding mixture on top of the graham crackers. Repeat with another layer of graham crackers, another layer of pudding, a final layer of graham crackers, and a final layer of pudding.
- Step 5
Spread the remaining half of the Cool Whip on top.
- Step 6
Freeze the icebox cake for at least 4 hours, or refrigerate overnight. If frozen, allow the dish to sit on the counter for 15-20 minutes so that it softens slightly before you try to slice it. Garnish with optional toppings just before serving.
