This is a quick and simple dessert my mama use to make when I was young and I have continued sharing it with my kids. It's delicious.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This cool and creamy no-bake dessert is so good. With all its layers, this version of an eclair cake reminded us of a graham cracker pudding lasagna. The peanut butter was an added flavor we loved and it also protected the crackers from becoming completely soft. A very thin layer of chocolate pudding on top is the perfect touch. If you need a great make-ahead dessert, give this recipe a try. It can really sit overnight to allow the graham crackers to soften. Delicious for a pot luck.

    Prepare the chocolate pudding.

    4
    Then spread 1/3 of the vanilla pudding on top of that.

    6
    Continue layering in order as above.

    You can use any flavor graham cracker you wish and honestly whatever flavor pudding you wish. I have used cinnamon crackers with cream cheese pudding and it was great. Whatever you prefer.
  • Graham Cracker Pudding in a serving dish.
    11
    You can also make your puddings from scratch with this recipe if it's what you prefer. But that requires more effort and time so this is the quick version.
