Easy Layered Boston Cream Pie Dessert

A simple layered dessert made with graham crackers, vanilla pudding, whipped topping, and a smooth chocolate finish. This no-fuss recipe is easy to assemble and perfect for make-ahead gatherings.

Ingredients

• 15 whole graham crackers
• 3 cups milk
• 2 small pkgs. vanilla pudding
• 16 ounces whipped topping thawed
• 1 container premade chocolate frosting

Instructions

Instruction

• Break graham crackers in half to form squares. Arrange a single layer of graham cracker squares in the bottom of an 8-inch square pan, overlapping slightly as needed.

  In a large bowl, prepare the pudding using the milk according to package directions. Let sit for about 5 minutes to thicken, then gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth.

  Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer.

  Add a second layer of graham crackers, then spread the remaining pudding mixture evenly over the top.

  Finish with a final layer of graham crackers. If desired, lightly crush some crackers and sprinkle over the top layer.

  Cover and refrigerate for about 3 hours to allow the layers to set.

  Remove the foil lid from the chocolate frosting. Microwave for about 30 seconds, or until slightly runny and easy to spread.

  Pour the softened frosting evenly over the dessert. Return to the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes before serving.

Notes

• This dessert slices best after chilling several hours or overnight.

  For a smoother finish, let the chocolate frosting cool slightly before spreading.

  Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
