1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared pudding mixture until combined and smooth. This will create the creamy vanilla filling.
4. In a 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham cracker sheets to cover the bottom of the dish.
5. Spread half of the vanilla filling mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
6. Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the filling, then spread the remaining vanilla filling over this second layer.
7. Finish with a final layer of graham crackers on top.
8. Microwave the chocolate frosting in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until it is smooth and pourable (around 30 seconds total).
9. Pour the chocolate frosting over the top layer of graham crackers and use a spatula to spread it evenly over the surface.
10. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and the graham crackers to soften.
11. Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
