Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 packages (95 g each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1 package (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 container (225 g) whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate to set.
  2. In another bowl, whisk pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Let it set.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
  4. Fold in the prepared pudding mixture until smooth.
  5. Gently fold in whipped topping to keep the mixture light and airy.
  6. Pour filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
  8. Slice and serve chilled, adding toppings if desired.

Notes

  • Chilling overnight gives the best texture and flavor.
  • Use different pudding flavors like chocolate or banana for variation.
  • A cookie crust can replace graham cracker crust.
  • Add fresh fruit or chocolate chips for extra texture.
  • Freeze for up to 1 month if needed, then thaw in the refrigerator.
