Ingredients
- 2 package cream cheese, soft (8 oz.)
- 3 cup milk
- 2 packages vanilla instant pudding (small)
- 18 crackers Graham crackers (approximately 9 oz.)
- 1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- whipping cream(optional)
- strawberries(optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Cover a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and set aside.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until finely ground. Melt the butter and mix with the ground crackers and sugar until all crackers are moistened. If you feel that the crackers are too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons milk and mix thoroughly. Press into the prepared baking pan and bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely.
Step 3
Blend cream cheese with 1 cup milk until smooth. Add the remaining 2 cups of milk and both pudding mixes. Beat with an electric mixer until the cream cheese mixture becomes thick, about 2-3 minutes. Do not over-beat. Pour over the graham cracker crust.
Step 4
Chill for 1 hour, covered with plastic wrap.
Step 5
Cut into rectangles or squares and serve, topped with whipping cream and strawberries or garnished to your taste.
