This no-bake dessert is a delightful combination of creamy pudding, fluffy whipped topping, and layers of graham crackers, all topped with a rich chocolate frosting.
Grease a 9 x 13 pan with butter.
Ensure the pan is evenly greased to prevent sticking.
Arrange a layer of graham crackers on the bottom of the pan.
Break the crackers to fit the pan snugly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until thickened.
Use cold milk for a smoother consistency.
Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture.
Fold gently to maintain the fluffiness of the whipped topping.
Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
Spread evenly for a uniform layer.
Add another layer of graham crackers over the pudding.
Align the crackers for a neat appearance.
Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
Ensure the layer is smooth and even.
Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
Press gently to set the layers.
Mix confectioners' sugar, butter, corn syrup, vanilla, milk, and cocoa powder until smooth.
Adjust milk quantity for desired consistency.
Spread the frosting over the top layer of graham crackers.
Use a spatula for a smooth finish.
Cover the dessert and refrigerate overnight.
Refrigeration allows the flavors to meld and the crackers to soften.
Slice and serve chilled.
Use a sharp knife for clean slices.
