Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 sheets Graham crackers
- 2 packages 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
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons Milk (for chocolate topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with 3 cups of cold milk. Whisk until thickened, about 2 minutes, then set aside.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared pudding mixture until fully combined. Set the filling aside.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange a layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom, breaking pieces as needed to fit.
Spread half of the pudding-cream mixture evenly over the layer of graham crackers.
Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the filling, then spread the remaining pudding-cream mixture evenly over this layer.
Place a final layer of graham crackers on top to complete the torte base.
To make the chocolate topping, combine the chocolate chips, butter, and milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate topping over the top layer of graham crackers and spread evenly using a spatula.
Refrigerate the torte for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
