Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (thawed)
  • 2 packages graham crackers (approximately 9 oz each)
  • 1 (16 oz) container chocolate frosting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vanilla Pudding: Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix into the cold milk until the mixture thickens. Gently fold in the whipped topping to create a smooth and creamy pudding base.
  2. Assemble the Layers: In a baking dish, spread a thin, even layer of the pudding mixture. Place a single layer of graham crackers over the pudding. Repeat layering pudding and graham crackers until desired thickness is achieved, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
  3. Add the Chocolate Frosting: Spread a generous and even layer of chocolate frosting over the final pudding layer, creating a smooth, glossy eclair-style chocolate topping.
  4. Chill and Set: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight. This allows the graham crackers to soften and flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use fresh pudding mix and chocolate frosting for best flavor and texture.
  • Ensure layers of pudding and crackers are spread evenly for consistent texture in every bite.
  • Chill the cake overnight for optimal flavor melding and softer layers.
  • Choose a creamy, spreadable chocolate frosting rather than dry or crumbly types.
  • Serve the cake cold and keep refrigerated until serving to maintain structure and taste.
