Description
The Ultimate No-Bake Chocolate Delight Recipe – Layered Pudding Dessert
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (about 15–16 full crackers)
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional, but recommended for added texture)
- 2 (3.9 oz) boxes of instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 (8 oz) tub of whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional, for extra smoothness)
Instructions
- Start by crushing your graham crackers into fine crumbs. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and chopped pecans. Stir the ingredients together until everything is well-coated and moist. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the two boxes of instant chocolate pudding mix and the cold milk. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until the pudding thickens and reaches a smooth consistency.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the whipped topping, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir the ingredients together until smooth and fluffy.
- Once the crust has cooled, spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the crust. Gently spread the whipped topping mixture over the pudding, covering it completely. Optionally, sprinkle some extra chopped pecans or chocolate shavings on top.
- Cover the dessert with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight. Once chilled, slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Chilling overnight enhances the flavors.
- Use a sharp knife for clean slices.
