Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups cold whole milk
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 box graham crackers (about 14–16 sheets)
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
- Assemble the Cake: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange a layer of graham crackers, half of the pudding mixture, another layer of graham crackers, the remaining pudding mixture, and a final layer of graham crackers.
- Make the Chocolate Ganache: Place chocolate chips in a bowl. Heat cream and butter in a saucepan until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips. Let sit, then stir in vanilla and salt. Pour over the top layer of graham crackers.
- Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- For added flavor, try using chocolate graham crackers or layering sliced bananas or strawberries between the pudding layers.
- This dessert can be prepared a day ahead for enhanced flavor and texture.
