Ingredients

Scale
  • 14.4 ounces graham crackers (1 box)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 6.8 ounces instant lemon pudding mix (two 3.4-ounce boxes)
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 32 ounces Cool Whip (four 8-ounce containers)
  • 16 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • Lemon slices for garnish
  • Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix with melted butter until combined.
  2. Spread the crumb mixture evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant lemon pudding mix and whole milk until thickened. Fold in one container of Cool Whip until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth, then fold in the remaining Cool Whip and lemon zest.
  5. In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, layer one-third of the toasted graham cracker crumbs, half of the cream cheese mixture, half of the lemon pudding mixture, then repeat with another third of crumbs and finish with pudding. Top with remaining crumbs.
  6. Garnish with Cool Whip, lemon slices, and mint leaves. Chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours before serving.
