Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 packages instant chocolate pudding mix
- 4 cups cold milk
- 16 ounces Cool Whip (thawed)
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate shavings or chips (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, or until it begins to thicken.
Gently fold in 8 ounces of Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Spread the pudding and Cool Whip mixture evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Top the dessert with the remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip, spreading evenly over the pudding layer.
Optional: Sprinkle the top with semi-sweet chocolate shavings or chips for added texture and flavor.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set completely.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
