Pudding Cake is a great way to have your cake and not heat up the house!!!! This is my go to recipe for pot luck gatherings. It’s quick and easy to make and transports well. People are amazed at how simple it is to complete the recipe. Everyone always asks for the recipe, so be prepared as we have other Weight Watchers Cool Whip Recipes ready for you.
Not only is the pudding cake easy to make, the ingredients aren’t costly. The 3 ingredients are easy to keep on hand and you can add chocolate syrup or sprinkles for added color, too. I also love that I can easily turn this into a Weight Watcher recipe by using low fat and sugar free items! Be sure to try it with chocolate pudding, too. YUM!

I used the 4 serving size boxes of pudding. I know they make 6 serving size, too. Those would also work, you would just have LOTS of pudding and need to put less cool whip on top. Enjoy!

- 8 oz cool whip thawed
- 1 Box graham crackers
Instructions
- Lay out graham crackers in a 9 x 13 pan
- Cover graham crackers with half of pudding
- Layer graham crackers over the pudding layer
- Cover graham cracker layer with remaining pudding
- Top with cool whip
- Refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours
- Cut & serve like cake

I made this last night for a Church Pot luck today. Using graham crackers, vanilla pudding and cool whip and then sprinled chocolate chips on top. My graham crackers didn't stay whole, they dissolved instead of staying hard like a crust.... What am I doing wrong?

Hi Pam, I don't think you are doing anything wrong. The longer the cake sits the softer the crackers will get. Sometimes I can cut mine with a spatula, other times I need to use a spoon and scoop it out. Thanks for stopping by. Michele
