Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups Cold whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 15 sheets (approximately) Graham crackers
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold whole milk for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared pudding mixture until well combined to form a light and creamy filling.
In a 9x13-inch dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom completely. You may need to break some crackers to fit the edges.
Spread half of the pudding and whipped cream mixture evenly over the graham crackers. Add another layer of graham crackers on top.
Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers, ensuring an even layer. Top with one final layer of graham crackers.
To make the chocolate glaze, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Pour the chocolate glaze evenly over the top layer of graham crackers, spreading it with a spatula to ensure full coverage.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to soften and meld together.
Serve chilled and slice into squares to enjoy!
