Directions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes, until it thickens.
-
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
-
Add in the lemon juice and lemon zest, stirring gently to mix.
-
Arrange a single layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
-
Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
-
Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture and then spread the remaining pudding mixture over this layer.
-
Finish with a final layer of graham crackers on top.
-
Cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the graham crackers to soften.
Slice and serve chilled.
Variations & Tips
For a fun twist, try making a mixed berry version by adding a layer of fresh berries between the pudding layers. If you prefer a little more texture, you can crush some graham crackers and sprinkle them on top just before serving for a bit of crunch. And if lemon isn’t your thing, you can easily swap out the lemon pudding for vanilla or cheesecake instant pudding mix for a different but equally delicious flavor.
