Ingredients

• 14 sheets Graham crackers
• 2 packages (3.4 oz each) Vanilla instant pudding mix
• 3 cups Milk
• 1 container (8 oz) Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine both packages of vanilla instant pudding mix with 3 cups of cold milk. Whisk for 2–3 minutes until thickened.

Step 2

Fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully combined and smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a 9x13-inch baking dish, place a single layer of graham crackers on the bottom, breaking them as needed to cover the surface completely.

Step 4

Spread half of the pudding-whipped topping mixture evenly over the graham crackers.

Step 5

Place another layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture, covering it completely.

Step 6

Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers.

Step 7

Add a final layer of graham crackers on top, ensuring they are evenly placed.

Step 8

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 9

Pour the chocolate mixture over the top layer of graham crackers, spreading it evenly to the edges.

Step 10

Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and the graham crackers to soften.

Step 11

Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your creamy, chocolate-topped dessert!
