Description

A blissfully simple, no-bake dessert made from layers of graham crackers, silky vanilla pudding, and glossy chocolate topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (3.4 oz) boxes of instant vanilla pudding
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 8 oz (1 tub) thawed whipped topping
  • 36 full sheets of graham crackers (about 3 sleeves)
  • 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Whisk the instant vanilla pudding with cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
  2. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until uniform.
  3. Spread half the mixture in a greased 9 × 13-inch pan.
  4. Layer a single layer of graham crackers over the filling.
  5. Add the remaining pudding mixture on top of the graham crackers.
  6. Top with another layer of graham crackers.
  7. For the chocolate glaze, heat chocolate chips, heavy cream, and unsalted butter until smooth.
  8. Cool the glaze slightly to about 110–120°F, then pour over the top.
  9. Chill for 4 hours or overnight until set.

Notes

For best results, chill overnight for cleaner slices. Use cold milk for instant pudding to avoid a runny filling.
