Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 18 large rectangular sheets Graham crackers
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups Milk
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened. This should take about 2 minutes.
Step 2: Gently fold in the whipped topping (Cool Whip) until fully incorporated and creamy. Set aside.
Step 3: In a 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom completely. Break the crackers as needed to fit the edges.
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 mixture, then spread the remaining pudding mixture evenly over this second layer of crackers.
Step 6: Finish with one final layer of graham crackers to create the top layer. Set aside while preparing the chocolate topping.
Step 7: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 8: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top layer of graham crackers, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
Step 9: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the dessert to set.
Step 10: Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy, chocolatey goodness!
