    Recipe Introduction


    This is a light and creamy dessert that isn't too rich. I came up with this one after experimenting around with another recipe for this that I thought was too bland for my liking.


    List of Ingredients


    • 2 3.4oz packages French Vanilla instant pudding mix
    • 3 Cups + 3 tablespoons milk, divided
    • 1 8oz tub cool whip
    • 1 12oz package graham crackers
    • 6 Tablespoons butter
    • 2 1oz squares semisweet chocolate
    • 1 3/4 Cups confectioners sugar
    • 9 Inch glass baking dish


    Instructions


    1. Prepare pudding according to box istructions.
    2. Combine pudding mix and 3 cups milk in large mixing bowl. Add cool whip. Beat with electric mixer at medium speed until well blended.
    3. Arrange a layer of graham crackers in botom of 9 inch baking dish.
    4. Spread crackers with half of pudding mixture.
    5. Add second layer of graham crackers and spread with remaining pudding mix. Top again with another layer of graham crackers.
    6. combine butter and chocolate in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until chocolate has melted. Stir in remaining milk.
    7. Place confectioners' sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Add chocolate mixture and beat with electric mixer at medium speed until icing is a spreadable consistency.
    8. Spread icing over layers.
    9. Chill, covered for about 8 hours.
    10. Cut into squares and serve.


    Final Comments


    For a quick fix, use store bought chocolate icing. Stir in about 1 teaspoon of milk at a time, until mixture is a spreadable consistency.
