Ingredients
  

Base and Layers
  • 1 package Graham crackers Any brand.
  • 1 box Instant vanilla pudding mix The magic shortcut.
  • 2 cups Cold milk Must be cold for proper texture.
  • 1 container Whipped topping (like Cool Whip) Makes the filling light and fluffy.
  • 1 can Chocolate frosting Buy ready-made for easy prep.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line your baking dish with graham crackers, letting them overlap if necessary.
  2. In a bowl, mix the instant vanilla pudding with cold milk until thick.
  3. Fold in the whipped topping to the pudding mixture.
  4. Spread half of the vanilla pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
  5. Add another layer of graham crackers over the pudding.
  6. Pour the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers.
  7. Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
  8. Spread chocolate frosting over the top layer evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

For best results, let the chocolate frosting warm to room temperature for easy spreading. Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor. Use full-fat pudding and milk for a richer taste.
