You guys– all you need is 4 easy ingredients.

FOUR! With absolutely no baking involved. And barely any mixing. Most of the work is done in the fridge while it’s chilling, which means you can be… frolicking elsewhere. Because that’s what we’re doing whilst waiting for cake, right? Frolicking.

I don’t know. The word just popped on the page, and I decided to leave it. Mooooooving on!

Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:

✓ Graham Crackers (like, two whole sleeves)

✓ Cool Whip

✓ Instant vanilla pudding (prepared with a little less milk than usual, see recipe)

✓ Chocolate frosting (store-bought)

So. Somehow these four simple ingredients, with basically zero effort on your part, magically transform into a cake that you can slice and gobble up and impress all your friends with.

You guys, this is what refrigerators were made for!

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces (1 box) of honey graham crackers

Layer a 9x13 baking dish with some of the graham crackers. Overlap if needed cover the bottom of the dish.

Whisk together the pudding mix and milk until smooth. Whisk in the Cool Whip.

Spread a third of the mixture over the layer of graham crackers.

Repeat the layers twice more, ending with graham crackers on top.

Melt the chocolate frosting in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds, until pourable. Pour frosting over the top layer and spread as needed.

Chill for at least 3 hours (the longer, the better!). Cut and serve.
