Prepare the pudding mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
Layer the base
In a 9×13-inch dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom.
Add the cream layer
Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the crackers.
Repeat layers
Add another layer of graham crackers, then spread the remaining pudding mixture.
Final cracker layer
Top with one last layer of graham crackers.
Add chocolate topping
Slightly warm the frosting (10–15 seconds in the microwave) to make it easier to spread.
Spread evenly over the top layer.
Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
💡 Tips for Best Results
