Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (3.5 oz) packages of instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 (8 oz) container of whipped topping (COOL WHIP), thawed
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 sleeves graham cracker squares
  • 1 (16 oz) tub chocolate frosting

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and COOL WHIP until smooth and well combined.
  • Layer the Graham Crackers: In a 9×13 baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham cracker squares on the bottom. You may need to break the crackers up to fully cover the dish.
  • Add the Pudding Mixture: Spread half of the pudding mixture on top of the graham crackers.
  • Add Another Layer of Graham Crackers: Place another layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture.
  • Add the Remaining Pudding Mixture: Spread the remaining half of the pudding mixture on top of the second layer of graham crackers.
  • Top with a Final Layer of Graham Crackers: Place a final layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture.
  • Set the Cake: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the pudding to set.
  • Prepare the Frosting: Microwave the chocolate frosting for about 15 seconds to soften it (remove the lid and aluminum foil top before microwaving). Stir the frosting until it becomes easily spreadable.
  • Frost the Cake: Remove the plastic wrap from the dish and evenly spread the chocolate frosting over the top layer of graham crackers.
  • Chill Overnight: Cover the dish with plastic wrap again and refrigerate overnight to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve: When ready, slice and serve this delicious dessert.

Notes

  • The longer the cake sits in the fridge, the better it tastes as the graham crackers soften and absorb the pudding mixture.
  • This dessert can be made up to 24 hours in advance for optimal flavor.
  • If you don’t have Cool Whip, you can substitute with homemade whipped cream or another brand of whipped topping.
