Ingredients
- 16 sheets graham crackers
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 container (16 oz) ready-to-spread chocolate frosting
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until the pudding thickens.
Step 2
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully combined and creamy.
Step 3
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers, breaking pieces as necessary to cover the bottom of the dish completely.
Step 4
Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the layer of graham crackers.
Step 5
Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding layer, followed by the remaining pudding mixture. Spread evenly.
Step 6
Top with one final layer of graham crackers, ensuring full coverage.
Step 7
Remove the lid and foil lining from the container of chocolate frosting. Microwave the frosting for about 20-30 seconds to soften it slightly (do not overheat). Stir well.
Step 8
Carefully spread the softened chocolate frosting over the top layer of graham crackers to coat evenly.
Step 9
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the layers to soften and meld together.
Step 10
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
