Sharon Cardiff
Ingredients
1 cup graham-cracker crumbs
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup melted butter
1 sponge cake
1 package instant pudding (chocolate or whatever flavor you want)
1 can blueberry or raspberry pie filler (or fresh blueberries or raspberries)
1 package instant pudding (white/vanilla)
1 tub lite whipped topping
Directions
Mix graham-cracker crumbs, wheat germ, melted butter. Mix together until solid and place in a pie plate in the oven at 325 degrees F for approximately 10 minutes. Let cool. Place graham cracker mixture into a bowl, preferably a glass bowl.
Cut sponge cake in half and break into small pieces. Place half of the pieces in the bowl on top of the graham cracker layer. Spread half of the fruit pie filling on top of the sponge cake. Prepare the pudding following package instructions. Layer one flavor of pudding over the fruit. Repeat layers of sponge cake, fruit and the other pudding flavor. Top with whipped topping. Chill and serve.
Suggestions
Ganish with fresh fruit, chocolate flakes or whatever you like. Add a bit of banana extract to the vanilla pudding for extra flavor.
