Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box graham crackers
- 2 (3.4 oz) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 (16 oz) container chocolate frosting
Instructions
- Whisk pudding mix with milk according to package directions, then gently incorporate whipped topping to create a smooth, creamy filling.
- Arrange a single layer of graham crackers across the bottom of a rectangular dish, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham cracker base, making sure to reach all corners.
- Add another layer of graham crackers directly on top of the pudding layer, creating a uniform surface.
- Pour the remaining pudding mixture over the second graham cracker layer, smoothing it with a spatula for a consistent texture.
- Complete the dessert with a final layer of graham crackers, creating a neat top surface.
- Generously coat the entire top layer with chocolate frosting, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.
- When ready to serve, cut into clean squares and enjoy the cool, creamy dessert straight from the refrigerator.
Notes
- Swap graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives like gluten-free vanilla wafers for those with dietary restrictions.
- Reduce sugar content by using sugar-free pudding mix and low-fat whipped topping for a lighter version.
- Enhance flavor by adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the pudding mixture for extra depth.
- Customize toppings by drizzling caramel sauce or sprinkling chopped nuts over the chocolate frosting for added texture and taste.
