Ingredients
- 6 sheets graham crackers
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping with a spatula until fully combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Break the graham crackers into smaller pieces (about 2-inch squares) and arrange half of them on the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish or shallow serving dish.
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, followed by the remaining pudding mixture, spreading it evenly.
Step 6
Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top layer of pudding in a zigzag or decorative pattern.
Step 7
Optional: Sprinkle chopped nuts over the chocolate drizzle for added crunch and flavor.
Step 8
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 30 minutes to allow the graham crackers to soften slightly and the flavors to meld (or serve immediately if you’re in a rush!).
Step 9
Scoop into bowls to serve and enjoy!
