Ingredients

2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix

3 cups cold milk

1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

1 box (14.4 oz) graham crackers

1 can (16 oz) chocolate frosting

Optional: Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for garnish


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Fold in the whipped topping until smooth.
  2. Assemble the Layers: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, place a layer of graham crackers. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the crackers. Add another layer of graham crackers, followed by the remaining pudding mixture. Finish with a final layer of graham crackers.
  3. Add the Frosting: Microwave the chocolate frosting for about 30 seconds to soften. Spread the warmed frosting evenly over the top graham cracker layer.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, sprinkle with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for added richness.
