lemon graham cracker dessert

  

This is probably one of my favourite desserts ever.  We used to have it a lot growing up, and I have a lot of memories of being the one making it.  Not only is it a favourite, but it's super easy.  Graham crackers, lemon pie filling, whipped cream, a simple water icing and melted chocolate... layer it and you're done.  It's that easy.

Lemon Graham Cracker Dessert 

from the big red book

1 box of graham crackers

1 box of prepared lemon pudding/pie filling

500ml sweetened whipped cream 

Enough icing that it adds a thin layer over top (icing sugar and water)

As much or as little chocolate of whatever kind you want, melted

You really can't screw this up.  In a 9x13 baking dish, start with a layer of graham crackers.  On the next layer, add the lemon filling.  It can be hot or cold, it really doesn't matter, and then more crackers.  Next add the 2 cups of already whipped sweetened cream and then more crackers.  Lastly spread the icing over the top and then drizzle the melted chocolate.  Refrigerate until cool and then dig in!

Notes:  We always used the lemon pudding and pie filling that you had to cook, not instant, but I'm sure instant would be fine.

We always used milk chocolate, but really, you can use whatever you want.

The best part about this dessert was that it always tasted better the longer it stayed in the fridge.  By the next day the graham crackers aren't cracker like anymore but soft.  So so delicious.
