Ingredients
- 12 sheets Low-fat graham crackers
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) Sugar-free, fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups Cold skim milk
- 8 ounces Low-fat whipped topping (thawed)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold skim milk for about 2 minutes, until thick and smooth.
Step 2
Gently fold the thawed low-fat whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully combined.
Step 3
In an 8x11-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of low-fat graham cracker sheets to cover the bottom.
Step 4
Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer.
Step 5
Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture.
Step 6
Spread the remaining pudding mixture over this second layer of graham crackers.
Step 7
Top with one final layer of graham crackers to create the top crust. Set aside.
Step 8
To make the chocolate glaze, combine unsweetened cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar, softened unsalted butter, skim milk, and vanilla extract in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
Step 9
Carefully pour the chocolate glaze over the top layer of graham crackers, spreading evenly to cover.
Step 10
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 6-8 hours or overnight to allow the graham crackers to soften and meld with the pudding mixture. This step is essential for the best texture.
Step 11
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
