  • 1 package Instant chocolate pudding 3.9 oz
  • 2 cups Whole milk

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the instant pudding powder and 2 cups of milk.  Whisk for about two minutes then place in the refrigerator.
  • Using a stand mixer, or an electric hand mixer, add 1 quart of heavy cream, vanilla extract, and one can of sweetened condensed milk. Mix on high speed for about 6 to 8 minutes until stiff peaks form.

Notes

Tips for Perfect Results
  • The more you allow the cake to sit, the tastier it will be. Try leaving it overnight. That way, the graham crackers will absorb the cream and coffee.
  • Add some crashed graham crackers, graham cracker crumbs, whipped cream, chocolate chips, crushed coconut, or even toasted and crushed pistachios, hazelnuts, and almonds on top of the graham cracker cake.
  • If you feel like you have the time and energy for it, try decorating the cake by drawing different patterns on the last layer, which should be the chocolate pudding.
