Equipment
- 1 9x13 inch baking dish
- 1 mixing bowls
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 spatula
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 14.4 oz chocolate graham crackers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups milk
- 3.9 oz instant chocolate pudding mix
- 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
- 1/2 cup chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips Optional for garnish.
Instructions
- Begin by breaking the chocolate graham crackers into smaller pieces. Layer half of them at the bottom of the 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk and instant chocolate pudding mix until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Once the pudding has thickened, gently fold in half of the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until well blended.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the layer of graham crackers in the baking dish. Pour the chocolate pudding on top of the cream cheese layer and spread evenly.
- Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping. Finally, add the remaining chocolate graham crackers on top for decoration.
- If desired, sprinkle chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips on top for garnish.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results, to allow the layers to set.
Notes
For a twist, you can use vanilla pudding instead of chocolate.
This dessert can be made a day in advance, making it great for parties.
