Ingredients
- 16 sheets Graham crackers
- 3.4 oz Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups Cold milk
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 8 oz Whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Chocolate syrup or hot fudge sauce
Directions
Step 1
Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until the coconut is golden brown and toasted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix with cold milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the pudding mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Step 4
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is creamy and well-blended. Set aside.
Step 5
In a 9x13-inch dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers, breaking them as needed to cover the bottom of the dish completely.
Step 6
Spread one-third of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
Step 7
Repeat the process by adding another layer of graham crackers followed by another third of the pudding mixture. Repeat one final time, ending with the pudding mixture on top.
Step 8
Drizzle the chocolate syrup or hot fudge sauce over the top layer and spread with a spatula to create a smooth coat of chocolate on top.
Step 9
Sprinkle the cooled toasted coconut evenly over the chocolate layer.
Step 10
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the graham crackers to soften.
Step 11
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
