Description

A no-bake dessert with layers of graham crackers, creamy vanilla pudding, and rich chocolate frosting. Perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (14.4 oz) graham crackers

  • 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix

  • 3 cups cold milk

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk pudding mix and milk until thick. In another bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into pudding.

  2. Layer the Cake: In a 9×13 dish, place a single layer of graham crackers. Spread half the pudding mixture over the crackers. Repeat layers, ending with graham crackers on top.

  3. Make the Ganache: Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips, let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Spread ganache over the top layer of graham crackers.

  4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

Notes

  • For a firmer cake, chill overnight.

  • Substitute chocolate frosting for ganache if preferred.

  • Add toppings like crushed nuts or toffee bits for extra flavor.
