Ingredients

• 15 sheets Graham crackers
• 2 packages Instant vanilla pudding mix
• 3 cups Milk
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons Milk (for chocolate topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with 3 cups of cold milk. Whisk until thickened, about 2 minutes, then set aside.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Step 3

Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared pudding mixture until fully combined. Set the filling aside.

Step 4

In a 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange a layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom, breaking pieces as needed to fit.

Step 5

Spread half of the pudding-cream mixture evenly over the layer of graham crackers.

Step 6

Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the filling, then spread the remaining pudding-cream mixture evenly over this layer.

Step 7

Place a final layer of graham crackers on top to complete the torte base.

Step 8

To make the chocolate topping, combine the chocolate chips, butter, and milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 9

Pour the melted chocolate topping over the top layer of graham crackers and spread evenly using a spatula.

Step 10

Refrigerate the torte for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.

Step 11

Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
