A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring creamy peanut butter pudding layered with graham crackers and topped with a glossy chocolate frosting. Perfect for any occasion and ready in under 20 minutes plus chilling time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 12 full sheets graham crackers
  • 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups (720 ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (250 g) creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 8 oz (227 g) cool whip or whipped topping
  • 1 cup (240 g) chocolate frosting
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 packages of instant vanilla pudding mix with 3 cups (720 ml) of cold milk for about 2–3 minutes until thickened and smooth.
  2. Stir in 1 cup (250 g) of creamy peanut butter and ½ cup (60 g) of powdered sugar until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Gently fold in 8 oz (227 g) of cool whip or whipped topping using a spatula until blended, being careful not to overmix.
  4. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom completely.
  5. Spread about one-third of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
  6. Add another layer of graham crackers, then spread another third of the pudding mixture. Repeat once more, ending with a final layer of graham crackers.
  7. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup (240 g) of chocolate frosting with 2 tablespoons (28 g) of melted butter. Microwave for about 20 seconds, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  8. Pour the chocolate frosting mixture over the top layer of graham crackers and spread evenly.
  9. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

Use cold milk to properly thicken pudding. Soften peanut butter in microwave if too stiff. Fold whipped topping gently to keep airiness. Chill overnight for best texture. Press graham crackers gently to avoid dense cake. Can substitute gluten-free crackers and dairy-free ingredients for dietary needs.
