Cake Batter Cream Pie: Rich and creamy filling that tastes just like cake batter inside a graham cracker crust. Finally you can have your cake and eat pie too!
Given the choice between cake and pie…
I’ll choose cake every single time! Moist cake with rich frosting wins out over flaky fuity pie 100/100 times for me.

This looks amazing! Do you know of an alternative to the instant vanilla pudding as I cant get this in the UK =(
Thanks so much Georgia! Maybe you could make your own version: https://www.browneyedbaker.com/diy-homemade-instant-vanilla-pudding-mix/?
Can this be made a day ahead? And left in fridge overnight?
I think that would work fine Janie, although the crust may get a bit soggy.
Does anyone know the nutrient facts for this
