Ingredients

• 14 sheets Graham crackers
• 2 3.4-ounce packets 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
• 1 cup Heavy cream (for chocolate topping)
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened. Let it set for 5 minutes.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until fully combined, creating a light and creamy filling.

Step 4

In a 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom entirely.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add another layer of graham crackers on top, followed by the remaining pudding and whipped cream mixture.

Step 7

Add a final layer of graham crackers on top to complete the layering process.

Step 8

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 9

Pour the chocolate topping evenly over the top layer of graham crackers, using a spatula to spread it to the edges.

Step 10

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.

Step 11

Cut into squares and serve chilled.
