How to Make Cherry Topped Icebox Cake

  1. Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with approximately 12 graham crackers, breaking as needed to fit.
  2. In a large bowl, pour in 2 cups of cold milk.
  3. Add 3 (3.4 ounce) packages of instant vanilla pudding mix to the milk.
  4. Using an electric mixer on low speed, beat until the pudding mix is completely smooth and well-blended (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. Let the pudding mixture stand for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Gently fold in 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer in the pan.
  8. Add another layer of approximately 12 graham crackers.
  9. Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second cracker layer.
  10. Top with a final layer of approximately 6-8 graham crackers.
  11. Spread 1 (21 ounce) can of cherry pie filling evenly over the top layer of crackers.
  12. Cover the pan and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to set.
