Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 sheets Graham crackers
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) Vanilla instant pudding mix
- 3 cups Milk
- 1 container (8 oz) Whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 can (16 oz) Chocolate frosting
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla instant pudding mix with the milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy and smooth.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, place a single layer of graham cracker sheets to cover the bottom of the dish completely.
Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the layer of graham crackers.
Place another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture, breaking pieces as necessary to fit the dish.
Spread the remaining half of the pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers.
Add a final layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture, once again covering the entire surface.
Remove the lid and foil from the can of chocolate frosting and microwave for 20-30 seconds, just until the frosting is soft and spreadable. Stir gently to ensure a smooth consistency.
Carefully spread the warmed chocolate frosting over the top layer of graham crackers, creating a smooth and even layer.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate 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.
