- 8 oz frozen whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla works best!)
- 3 tablespoons instant chocolate pudding powder
- 9 graham cracker sheets (you’ll break them in half)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
🍫 Step 1: Mix It All Up
- In a large bowl, add the thawed whipped topping, yogurt, and instant chocolate pudding powder.
- Gently fold everything together using a spatula or spoon until smooth and fully combined. No need to overmix — just get that creamy, dreamy texture.
🍪 Step 2: Build Your Sandwich Base
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Break your graham crackers in half, and place 9 halves (3 rows of 3) neatly across the bottom of the pan.
🧁 Step 3: Layer and Freeze
- Pour the creamy mixture on top of the graham crackers and spread evenly.
- Place another layer of 9 graham cracker halves on top, lining them up with the ones on the bottom.
- Lightly press them down so everything sticks together.
❄️ Step 4: Freeze and Slice
- Freeze the whole pan for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long!
- Once set, lift the slab out using the parchment paper.
- Use a sharp knife to cut into individual sandwiches along the graham cracker lines.
- Roll the sides in mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or crushed Oreos for extra texture.
- Swap yogurt for flavored Greek yogurt if you want it extra rich.
- Want a peanut butter twist? Add a spoonful to the filling!
