Directions:Basic Recipe
Melt the butter/margarine in the microwave and stir in the graham cracker crumbs till well blended. Put on the bottom of your dessert dish. Spread evenly and press gently into place with the bottom of your measuring cup.
Get the Cool Whip open and ready to go. Put the milk in a mixing bowl, add the pudding mix. Whisk until blended and add the Cool Whip as quick as you can so the milk mixture doesn’t get lumpy. Keep in the fridge. This is also good frozen as a refreshing summertime treat.
VARIATIONS
Cheesecake version, use a potato masher to blend 8oz of softened cream cheese into the milk before adding the pudding mix and use Vanilla pudding. I like layering the cream cheese version with chocolate. The Yummy Berry Topping below or just a can of berry or cherry pie filling is real good over the cream cheese version.
Peanut Butter version - Use Vanilla pudding as the base. Warm 1 cp of smooth peanut butter in the microwave to make it a bit easier to stir into the milk. Whisk the warm pb into the milk until it's well blended. Whisk in the pudding mix and Cool Whip as described above.
Lemon Layers, making just a straight lemon fluff is really good but add some interest to it by cooking one pkg of Cook & Serve lemon pudding and pouring that into the serving dish. Let this cool thoroughly! Now make the above recipe with lemon instant pudding. Layer this over the cooked pudding. Fabulous!!
Layered options, put half the fluff mix in the serving dish, then add a layer of;
1 cp mini marshmallows OR
10-12 sandwich cookie bits (Oreo, Nutter Butter, etc.) broken but not crushed OR
1 cp fruit – raspberries, strawberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple, bananas
Spoon the rest of the fluff over the layer. Top with dabs of Cool Whip and a little of the filling.
Yummy Berry Topping
1 lb fresh strawberries, cleaned and cut up
1 can raspberry pie filling
Mix the fresh strawberries with the pie filling and serve it with the cheesecake, vanilla or chocolate versions. Great with a container of blackberries added in. Could also be used as a layer in the above option. |
