A no-bake, visually festive flag pudding pie with a crunchy graham cracker crust and creamy pudding layers, perfect for summer parties and casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 ½ cups sliced strawberries
  • Whipped cream or Cool Whip (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup sugar in a mixing bowl. Pour in 6 tablespoons melted butter and stir until the mixture looks like wet sand.
  2. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and about an inch up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to get an even, compact crust.
  3. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill for about 15 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 pudding mixes and 3 cups cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. For a fluffier texture, beat the pudding with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
  7. Pour the pudding into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the pudding set properly.
  9. Rinse the blueberries and strawberries and pat them dry.
  10. Slice the strawberries lengthwise into thin slices for stripes.
  11. Arrange blueberries in a rectangle in one corner of the pie to represent the stars on the flag.
  12. Create red stripes by placing strawberry slices in neat rows across the pudding, leaving some white pudding showing as the white stripes.
  13. Optionally, add dollops of whipped cream between or around the stripes for extra texture and creaminess.
  14. Return the pie to the fridge for another 30 minutes to set the decorations firmly.
  15. Slice carefully with a sharp knife dipped in warm water between cuts and serve cold.

Notes

Press the graham cracker crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Chill the pudding for at least 1 hour to set properly. Use fresh berries and pat dry before decorating to prevent sogginess. Warm the knife in hot water before slicing for clean cuts. For vegan or dairy-free versions, substitute almond or coconut milk and dairy-free pudding mix. Gluten-free graham crackers can be used for a gluten-free crust.
