Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Graham crackers
- 3.4 oz Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups Milk
- 8 oz Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 4 tbsp Butter (softened)
- 3 tbsp Milk (for frosting)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of milk until the mixture thickens (about 2 minutes).
Fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture gently until fully combined. Set aside.
In a 9-inch pie dish, lay down a single layer of graham crackers, breaking them as needed to fit the shape of the dish.
Spread half of the pudding and whipped topping mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
Add another layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture.
Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers.
Finish with a final layer of graham crackers on top. Place the pie in the refrigerator while preparing the frosting.
To make the chocolate frosting, combine the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, softened butter, 3 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth and spreadable. Add a small amount of additional milk if the frosting is too thick.
Take the pie out of the refrigerator and evenly spread the chocolate frosting over the top layer of graham crackers.
Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
