Description

A simple yet delightful dessert made with layers of vanilla pudding, graham crackers, and rich chocolate frosting.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 box graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until well combined.
  3. Cover the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with a layer of graham crackers.
  4. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
  5. Add another layer of graham crackers, then spread the remaining pudding mixture on top.
  6. Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
  7. For the chocolate frosting, combine unsalted butter, milk, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and let bubble for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  8. Allow the frosting to cool slightly, then pour it over the graham crackers, spreading evenly.
  9. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
