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

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and evenly spread half of them in the bottom of a dish to form the base layer.
  2. Make the Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together the whole milk and vanilla pudding mix until smooth, then allow the mixture to thicken for 5 minutes.
  3. Layer the First Half: Spread half of the thickened pudding over the graham cracker crust layer, then spread half of the whipped topping over the pudding.
  4. Add Flavor: Sprinkle half of the orange zest evenly over the whipped topping to infuse fresh citrus flavor.
  5. Repeat the Layers: Add the remaining graham cracker crumbs as the next layer, followed by the rest of the pudding mixture, then the remaining whipped topping, and finish by sprinkling the remaining orange zest on top.
  6. Chill the Dessert: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to let the dessert set and flavors meld.
  7. Serve Garnished: Before serving, garnish the dessert with fresh orange slices for an appealing presentation and extra burst of citrus.

Notes

  • For best results, refrigerate overnight so the layers fully set and flavors develop.
  • You can substitute light or fat-free milk to reduce calories.
  • Whipped topping can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
  • Use fresh orange zest for the best aromatic citrus flavor.
  • Ensure the graham cracker crumbs are finely crushed to create an even, firm crust layer.
