🥄 Ingredients:

For the cake layers:

• 1 box of graham crackers (about 14-16 sheets)

For the pudding filling:

• 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 3 cups milk
• 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

For the chocolate glaze:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate, depending on preference)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

Step 1: Make the Pudding Filling

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. The mixture will begin to thicken after a few minutes.
2. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined, creating a fluffy, creamy filling. Set aside.

Step 2: Layer the Cake

1. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, lay down a single layer of graham crackers. You may need to break some crackers to fit the dish perfectly.
2. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers, smoothing it out evenly.
3. Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding.
4. Spread the remaining half of the pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers, smoothing it again to cover completely.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Glaze

1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).
2. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the chocolate chips until they melt completely, creating a smooth, glossy chocolate glaze.

Step 4: Top and Chill
