This Easy Chocolate and Vanilla Icebox Cake is a super easy, delicious, make ahead dessert. It's no bake, uses a few pantry staples and comes together in no time.
1box Nilla wafers(you could also use graham crackers if you want)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whip 1 cup of whipping cream with sugar until fairly stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another medium sized bowl, cream softened cream cheese until it's smooth. Add 1 package of vanilla pudding and mix to combine. Add one cup of milk and vanilla and mix until creamy. Set aside.
In another medium-sized bowl (last one, I swear!), mix chocolate pudding according to package directions (mine called for 1 cup of milk to be added to it). Set aside.
Spread a thin layer of the vanilla cream cheese filling on the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Top with rows of vanilla Nilla wafers. Spoon 1/2 of the vanilla cream cheese filling on top of the cookies and smooth it out.
Spoon 1/2 of the chocolate pudding on top of the vanilla cream cheese and smooth.
Then spoon 1/2 of the whipped cream on top of the chocolate and smooth. Repeat all steps again (except the thin bottom layer) - so Nilla wafers, vanilla cream cheese, chocolate pudding and whipped cream.* If you're making this a day ahead of time I would wait to add the last layer of whipped cream before serving - otherwise it can get a little muddled with the chocolate pudding.
Use a butter knife or a fork to mix the chocolate and whipped cream layers together on the top (optional). Refrigerate, at least 2 hours, but overnight is just fine.
Enjoy! :)
