Prepare the pudding mix (5 minutes).
Make pudding. Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the instant vanilla pudding, milk, and thawed whipped topping until smooth. This smooth filling will create the delicious layers of the cake.
Make the cake (10 minutes).
First, place a single layer of graham crackers in a 9x13 inch baking dish. You might have to break some crackers to make them fit perfectly and cover the whole base.
Put half of the pudding mixture on top of the graham crackers, spreading it evenly to make a smooth layer.
Another layer of Graham crackers: Put another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture, pressing them down gently.
Put the rest of the pudding on top: Spread the other half of the pudding mix over the second layer of graham crackers, making sure it's spread evenly.
Last Layer of Graham Crackers: Add another layer of graham crackers on top, pressing them down gently to stick to the pudding mixture.
Cool and let it rest for 1 hour, or leave it overnight.
Put the cake in the fridge: Cover the container with plastic wrap and leave it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or better yet, overnight. During this cold period, the pudding thickens and the graham crackers become softer, resulting in a tasty and unified cake.
Make the frosting (2 minutes)
Gently open the container of chocolate frosting by removing the lid and the foil cover. Heat the frosting in the microwave for 15 seconds on low power to make it a bit softer. This makes it easier to put on the cake.
Mix the frosting: Mix the softened frosting until it is smooth and easy to spread, making sure it has a uniform texture.
Put frosting on the cake (2 minutes).
Put frosting on the top of the cake after taking it out of the fridge and removing the plastic wrap. Spread the melted chocolate frosting smoothly over the top layer of graham crackers until it looks shiny and even.
Cool and serve (overnight).
Final Step: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and put it back in the refrigerator. Let it cool for at least one more hour, or better yet, overnight. Allowing the cake to chill for longer will make it taste better and have a better texture.
Serve: After the cake has cooled down, cut it into pieces and serve it cold. The mix of soft graham crackers, smooth vanilla pudding, and tasty chocolate frosting makes a delicious dessert that will please anyone who loves sweets.
