  • 1 (8 oz) container of Cool Whip (thawed)
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 sleeves graham cracker squares
  • 1 tub chocolate frosting or ganache frosting

  5. Then layer the other half of the pudding mixture on top of crackers.
  6. Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
  7. Put plastic wrap over dish and put in fridge for about 30 min to an hour to allow pudding to set.
  8. When ready, put the tub of chocolate frosting in the microwave for about 15 seconds to soften  (remove lid and aluminum foil top before microwaving). Or make ganache frosting.
  9. Take out and stir frosting. It should be easily spreadable now.
  10. Evenly spread chocolate frosting all over the top layer of graham crackers.
  11. Place plastic wrap over top of dish and put back in fridge.
