A no-bake, layered dessert made with graham crackers, creamy vanilla filling, fresh strawberries, and a luscious chocolate topping. Perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 box graham crackers (about 18 sheets)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
- Fold in the whipped topping and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a 9×13 inch dish, layer graham crackers to cover the bottom.
- Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
- Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries on top.
- Repeat with another layer of graham crackers, the remaining pudding mixture, and more strawberries.
- Top with one final layer of graham crackers.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the top layer of graham crackers and spread evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften.
