Description
A no-bake dessert that layers graham crackers, creamy vanilla pudding, and a rich chocolate ganache for an indulgent, crowd-pleasing treat.
Ingredients
- Graham Crackers: 1 box (about 14.4 oz)
- Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix: 2 (3.4 oz) boxes
- Cold Whole Milk: 3 cups
- Whipped Topping (Cool Whip): 1 (8 oz) tub
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: 1 cup
- Heavy Cream: 1/2 cup
- Butter: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Fold in the whipped topping.
- Line the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish with graham crackers, breaking to fit if needed.
- Spread half of the pudding mixture over the crackers. Add another layer of crackers, then the remaining pudding mixture. Finish with one more layer of crackers on top.
- In a saucepan, melt chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter over medium heat until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the top layer of crackers and smooth it out evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight for best texture and flavor.
- Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Chill the cake for at least 8 hours to allow the layers to set properly.
- Use whole milk for a richer, creamier filling.
- For a cleaner cut, warm the knife before slicing.
