Ingredients

  • 1 (14.4-ounces) boxes graham crackers
  • 2 (3.4-ounces) boxes instant vanilla pudding
  • 8 ounces cool whip thawed
  • 3 1/2 cups whole milk

Glaze:

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

Instructions

  • Line the bottom of a 9 X 13-inch pan with a single layer of graham crackers, cutting them as need be to cover them completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the pudding mix (2 boxes) and milk (3 1/2 cups) with a handheld electric mixer on medium, for 2 minutes. Fold in the Cool Whip (8 ounces).
  • Spread half the pudding mix over the layer of graham crackers, taking care to level the top.
  • Place another layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture then spread the remaining pudding mixture over the top. Place a final layer of graham cracker on top, smooth side of the crackers facing up.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze:  In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt butter (6 tablespoons) with milk (6 tablespoons) (doesn't need to boil). Mix in vanilla (1 teaspoon), and cocoa (1/4 cup), then mix in powdered sugar (2 cups) until the glaze is smooth. Evenly pour glaze over the top of the graham cracker. Refrigerate overnight.
