Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box (14.4 oz) graham crackers
  • 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed

For the Chocolate Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding mixture:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Fold in the Cool Whip until fully combined.
  2. Layer the cake:
    Line the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with a layer of graham crackers. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers. Add another layer of graham crackers, then spread the remaining pudding mixture on top. Finish with one more layer of graham crackers.
  3. Make the chocolate glaze:
    In a saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, milk, and butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the glaze is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the glaze cool for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Top with chocolate glaze:
    Pour the chocolate glaze over the final layer of graham crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  5. Chill the cake:
    Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set and the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve:
    Slice and enjoy this creamy, decadent no-bake dessert!

Notes

  • Make ahead: This cake needs to be chilled for a few hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor.
  • For a thicker glaze: Add more powdered sugar to the chocolate glaze until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Optional toppings: Top with fresh whipped cream or berries for added flair.
