A creamy, chocolatey no-bake cake layered with graham crackers, chocolate pudding, and whipped cream, perfect for quick and fuss-free dessert indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sleeves (about 200 grams) graham crackers
  • 2 (3.9 oz) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 4 cups (960 ml) cold milk
  • 16 oz (450 g) whipped topping, thawed
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips for topping
  • Optional: pinch of salt in pudding

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the 2 boxes of instant chocolate pudding mix with 4 cups (960 ml) cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Let it set for 5 minutes.
  2. Beat 8 oz (225 g) softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gently fold 16 oz (450 g) thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) dish.
  5. Arrange graham crackers in a single layer on top of the cream cheese base, breaking to fit edges snugly if needed.
  6. Pour half the prepared chocolate pudding over the graham crackers, smoothing gently with a spatula.
  7. Add another layer of graham crackers, then spread the remaining cream cheese mixture evenly over them.
  8. Place the last layer of graham crackers on top and pour the remaining pudding over, smoothing carefully.
  9. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings or mini chips if desired.

Notes

For cleaner slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe between cuts. If pudding is too runny, chill longer before layering. Soften cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid lumps. Overnight chilling improves texture and flavor melding. Freezing is possible for 1-2 hours to speed setting but avoid long freezes.
