Equipment

Ingredients

1 box (5.1 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
3 cups half and half
15 graham cracker sheets
3 medium bananas sliced
8 oz Cool Whip thawed

Toppings/Garnish

9 maraschino cherries (patted dry)
chocolate syrup or sundae sauce
finely chopped peanuts
whipped cream (homemade or spray can)
rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

Whisk together the instant pudding mix and the half and half milk in a mixing bowl, about 1-2 minutes, until it starts to thicken.
Let it sit for 5 minutes so it can thicken even more.
1 box (5.1 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix, 3 cups half and half
Line the bottom of an 8x8 baking pan with graham crackers. Break them as needed to get an even layer.
15 graham cracker sheets
Spread half of the pudding over top the layer of graham crackers.
Place a single layer of sliced banana on top of the pudding.
3 medium bananas
Add another layer of graham crackers, then the remaining pudding, and then the rest of the sliced bananas.
Place a final layer of graham crackers on top.
Evenly spread the Cool Whip on top.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, but overnight is best.
Right before serving add the toppings and garnishes.
^{* If you know you won't be serving it all, I suggest garnishing and decorating each slice of the icebox cake rather than decorating the entire top of the icebox cake. The toppings and garnishes don't hold up well when stored in the fridge.}
