Valentine's Day Poke Cake

Seriously the easiest dessert recipe ever! Not to mention my kids love the whole "poke" part of making it. Once you get the basic idea for this dessert the flavor combinations are pretty endless.

Valentine's Day Poke Cake

  • 1 red velvet cake (box or homemade works great)
  • 2 boxes jello cheesecake pudding mix
  • 4 cups of milk
  • 1 small tub cool whip
  • 10-15 crushed Keebler Grasshopper cookies
First step, bake your cake either according to your recipe or according to the box. Allow to cool for a few minutes and get your poking stick ready.
     I feel like such a bone head for not taking a picture of the best part of this recipe but to be perfectly honest with all the little helpers I had it would have been a challenge even if I had remembered. With the handle of a wooden spoon you want to poke several holes all over the freshly baked cake. Make sure to go all the way to the bottom of the cake pan. Next mix up the pudding and the 4 cups of milk. Once that has reached a thickened state, pour over the "holy" cake, making sure to get into all the holes. I like to take my wooden spoon and gently press the pudding over the holes just to make sure its in there. Now place in the refrigerator for at least 2hrs.
     After at least 2 hrs you can top the cake with the cool whip and the crushed cookies.
Now dig in and enjoy!!!
