Ingredients

Scale

For the Pudding Mixture:

  • 2 (3.4 oz.) boxes vanilla instant pudding
  • 2 1/2 c. milk
  • 1 (8 oz.) container Cool Whip non-dairy whipped topping (or 3 c. homemade whipped cream)

For the Graham Cracker Layers:

  • 1 (14.4 oz) box graham crackers

For the Chocolate Topping:

  • 1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 c. granulated sugar
  • 1/4 c. milk
  • 1/2 c. butter (1 stick)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding Mixture: Combine dry pudding mix and 2 & 1/2 cups milk; beat until well mixed. Stir in Cool Whip.
  2. Layer the Graham Crackers: Place a layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a 9×13″ dish.
  3. Assemble the Dessert: Spread 1/2 of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers. Repeat with another layer of graham crackers and pudding; then top with a final layer of graham crackers.
  4. Make the Chocolate Topping: In a medium-sized saucepan, bring cocoa, milk, and sugar to a full rolling boil; boil about 1 minute, stirring very frequently. Remove from heat and cool one minute. Add butter and vanilla; stir until butter is melted.
  5. Top the Dessert: Pour chocolate topping over the top layer of graham crackers. Spread evenly to completely cover graham crackers.
  6. Chill Overnight: Cover dessert and refrigerate overnight to allow the layers to set and meld.
  7. Important Tip: Ensure the chocolate topping reaches a full rolling boil for it to set properly.
