Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
Filling
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 (3.4 oz) package vanilla pudding mix
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping
- Zest of 1 orange
Garnish
- 2 fresh oranges, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and evenly spread half of these crumbs in the bottom of a serving dish to form the first crust layer.
- Make the pudding: In a bowl, whisk together the whole milk and vanilla pudding mix until smooth. Allow it to thicken for about 5 minutes until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- First layering: Pour half of the set pudding mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust. Then spread half of the whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
- Add zest: Sprinkle half of the orange zest evenly over the whipped topping to infuse the dessert with citrus flavor.
- Second layering: Repeat the layering process by adding the remaining graham cracker crumbs, followed by the rest of the pudding mixture, then the remaining whipped topping, and finish by sprinkling the remaining orange zest on top.
- Chill and serve: Cover the dessert and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and for the dessert to set nicely. Garnish with fresh orange slices just before serving.
Notes
- Use chilled milk for best pudding texture.
- For a lighter option, substitute whipped topping with whipped cream.
- Ensure the layers are even for a beautiful presentation.
- Refrigerating overnight improves flavor and texture.
- Can be made a day ahead for convenience.
