Well.. Yu guessed it, I had a few German desserts the last few LunchBox Tuesdays.. well.. I guess I’m a little Homesick and try to bring German here to Florida and to everyone on the web. Black Forrest Cake is my all time must have favorite cake. I remember when I was little my grandma always would make one for my Birthday, that’s all I wanted. I so wish I could have one piece of her cake now…mhhh It was soooo good…lol.. I hope you have enjoyed the travel to Germany in the last few recipes and I bet you will love to make this Black Forest “knock” off with your kids right away, too.
This one was suuper easy and soo delicious. The My little ones had a ball creating this.
This is a simple recipe, BUT you do need to plan this ahead of time, because it needs to stand at least 6 hours for the crackers to soften into a flaky pastry. I prepared 2 packages of instant pudding to get a creamier layer, but the original recipe only calls for one package.
You can also substitute for Low fat instant Pudding and Low fat Cool whip.. will be just as yummy J
This is what you need:
- 1 package Soda Crackers (unsalted tops)
- 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk (to make pudding)
- I carton Cool Whip (large – 1 litre)
- 1 can cherry pie filling
This is how you make this yummy dessert:
- Line bottom of 9 X 13 inch baking dish with soda crackers.
- Prepare pudding mix according to package instructions. Gently pour 1/2 over crackers and spread.
- Gently spread 1/2 carton of Cool Whip over pudding
- Cover Cool Whip layer with a layer of soda crackers.
- Gently pour remaining pudding over crackers. Cover with remaining Cool Whip.
- Cover with Saran Wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve, topping each piece with some cherry pie filling.

This makes me miss real Black Forest cake… sounds good, but it definitely doesn’t have anything on the real one. Thanks for posting this.
