Ingredients
Graham crackers
Vanilla pudding mix (instant)
Milk (whole milk recommended)
Whipped topping
Chocolate sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk in a bowl until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
- In an 8×8-inch dish, arrange half of the graham crackers in a single layer.
- Spread half of the pudding evenly over the graham crackers.
- Add another layer of graham crackers, followed by the remaining pudding.
- Spread whipped topping over the entire surface of the dessert.
- Drizzle chocolate sauce generously on top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
Use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla for a double-chocolate version.
Add sliced bananas or strawberries between the layers for a fruity twist.
Swap whipped topping for homemade whipped cream for a richer taste.
Use flavored graham crackers such as cinnamon or chocolate for extra depth.
Top with crushed nuts or sprinkles for a fun, crunchy finish.
