This Black Forest Dessert is a quick one to make. It uses soda crackers, instant chocolate pudding, and Cool Whip. Top it off with Cherry Pie Filling. Delicious!
Just like the Easy Flaky Dessert Recipe, this dessert is so quick to make. Unusual? Yes! But delicious!
It needs to stand at least 6 hours for the crackers to soften into a flaky pastry, so you need to plan this one ahead of time. But, it's easy for the kids to make.
Make sure you get the soda crackers with the unsalted tops!
To get the thick chocolate layer as shown in the picture, I prepared 2 packages of instant pudding. Normally, though, you just need one package.
For a diet version, use low-fat instant chocolate pudding and low-fat Cool Whip. Just as delicious.
