Storage:
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
The graham crackers will get softer the longer they are sitting in the pudding, so if you like a softer/mushier texture, you will enjoy this more the longer it sets. If you prefer more firm/textured graham crackers, you’ll enjoy this more the first day.
We do not recommend freezing this recipe.
Ingredients
▢1 box graham crackers around 14 ounces
▢2 boxes instant French Vanilla pudding mix 3.4 ounces each
▢8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
▢3 cups milk
▢16 ounces chocolate frosting.
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the pudding mix, Cool Whip, and milk. Beat well with a wire whisk until thick and creamy.
Arrange graham crackers in a single layer in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
Add another layer of graham crackers and spread remaining pudding over the top.
Add the final layer of graham crackers and spread with chocolate frosting. See notes for easy spreading tips!
Refrigerate for at least four hours before serving. The longer this sets, the softer the graham crackers will get. We like this best around the 4 hour mark, but it’s still delicious the next day.
Tips & Notes:
To make it extra easy to spread the frosting, we remove the foil from the packaging and microwave for 20 seconds or so – just enough to make the frosting very smooth and a bit runny.
We prefer to use honey graham crackers in this recipe, but any flavor you like will work fine. Packaging is shrinking often these days, so you’ll just need enough graham crackers to make 3 layers in a 9×13 baking dish.
Plain vanilla pudding in place of French vanilla will work just fine. Just be sure to use the instant pudding mix and not the cooked variety.
