You won’t believe how impressively decadent this cake is. It’s light, it’s fruity, and it’s rich – all at once.
Prep Time: 20 mins
Resting Time: 3 hrs
Equipment
- 8 x 8 square pan
Ingredients
- 2 cup Nonfat plain greek yogurt
- ½ cup Powdered Monk fruit sweetener (Refer to Tips section if you have granulated sweetener)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 small box banana cream Jell-o Zero-sugar, Reduced-calorie instant pudding mix
- 2 cup fat-free milk
- 2 bananas, fresh thinly sliced
- 12 sheets low-fat graham crackers
Instructions
- To prep for the icebox cake recipe, mix the Greek yogurt, sweetener, and cocoa powder until it becomes a chocolate mousse-like consistency. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Mix the banana pudding mix and the milk until smooth.
- To assemble: In the bottom of an 8 x 8 square baking dish, add a couple of spoonfuls of chocolate yogurt (just enough for the crackers to soak up).
- Layer 1: Place 4 cracker sheets, pressing them into the pudding. There will be some extra space in between. (Try to alternate which sides have gaps on the following graham cracker layers).
- Layer 2: Spoon and spread about 1/3 of the banana pudding mixture. Press the sliced banana pieces of 1 banana into the pudding, then cover with one-third more pudding.
- Layer 3: Place 4 more Graham cracker sheets on top, Followed by the remaining third of the banana pudding.
- Layer 4: Spread out the 2nd banana’s slices, then fill the gaps between the bananas with about half of the chocolate yogurt. Put the last four Graham crackers down.
- Layer 6 (Top Layer): spread the remaining chocolate yogurt on top, smoothing it out or creating a design with grooves. Cover and refrigerate the Graham cracker icebox cake for at least three hours or overnight before enjoying it. You can insert a knife to check if it’s done, which should easily go through the graham crackers.
