Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 4 eggs
  • 5 cups milk
  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 14 graham crackers
  • 4 - 5 strawberries cut in half
  • 4 pineapple slices
  • 2 kiwis cut into pieces

Instructions

  • Whisk granulated sugar and corn starch in a large sauce pan or pot.
  • Add in eggs, whisk well until combined.
  • Add in milk and mix well.
  • Place the sauce pan over medium heat and cook until it starts to bubble and thickens. Stir constantly to prevent from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Once the pudding reaches desired thickness, remove from the heat, add in the butter and vanilla extract. Mix well until butter is fully melted and incorporated.
  • Cover the pudding with plastic wrap (the wrap must touch the surface) and place in the fridge until it's completely cool, about an hour.
  • Take a 9X9 pan and place 4 ½ pieces of graham crackers at the bottom.
  • Top with ⅓ of the vanilla pudding.
  • Repeat the layers with the remaining graham crackers and vanilla pudding. The last layer is vanilla pudding.
  • Chill the icebox cake in the fridge for 3 - 4 hours (overnight is preferred)
  • Top with strawberries, kiwis and pineapple slices.

Notes

The number of graham crackers can change according to the dish you choose to make the icebox cake in.
