Ingredients
- 1 package graham crackers
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup chocolate pudding
- 1 cup vanilla pudding
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup bananas, sliced
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 package of graham crackers, 1 cup of whipped cream, 1 cup of chocolate pudding, 1 cup of vanilla pudding, 1 cup of sliced strawberries, 1 cup of blueberries, and 1 cup of sliced bananas.
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish or a similar-sized rectangular dish. Make sure it is clean and dry before starting.
- Take the graham crackers and break them into smaller pieces if necessary to fit the bottom of the baking dish. Create a single layer of graham crackers at the bottom of the dish, covering it completely.
- In a mixing bowl, take the chocolate pudding and prepare it according to the package instructions. Once prepared, pour half of the chocolate pudding over the layer of graham crackers, spreading it evenly.
- Next, add another layer of graham crackers on top of the chocolate pudding, covering it completely.
- Now, prepare the vanilla pudding in a separate bowl according to the package instructions. Once ready, pour half of the vanilla pudding over the second layer of graham crackers, spreading it evenly.
- Layer the sliced bananas evenly over the vanilla pudding, ensuring they cover the pudding completely.
- Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the bananas, creating a third layer.
- Pour the remaining chocolate pudding over the graham cracker layer, spreading it evenly.
- Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the chocolate pudding layer.
- Pour the remaining vanilla pudding over this layer, spreading it evenly once again.
- Now, layer the sliced strawberries evenly over the vanilla pudding.
- Add a final layer of graham crackers on top of the strawberries.
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top layer of graham crackers, covering it completely.
- Finally, decorate the top with the blueberries, arranging them as desired for a beautiful presentation.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set properly. This will enhance the flavors and make slicing easier.
- Once chilled, remove the cake from the refrigerator, cut into squares, and serve. Enjoy your delightful No Bake Seven Layer Cake!
Tips
- Chill is Key: Make sure to refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set properly and develop rich, blended flavors.
- Ingredient Freshness: Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best taste and presentation. Slice fruits just before layering to prevent browning.
- Pudding Perfection: Prepare puddings according to package instructions and let them cool slightly before layering to prevent graham crackers from becoming soggy.
- Layering Technique: Use a flat spatula or the back of a spoon to spread puddings and whipped cream evenly for a professional-looking dessert.
- Make Ahead Magic: This cake can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for stress-free entertaining.
- Customization Tip: Feel free to swap fruits or experiment with different pudding flavors to create your own unique version of this crowd-pleasing dessert.
