Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Make the Crust:

  • Melt the butter in the microwave and then combine it with the crushed graham crackers and flour.
  • Stir the ingredients together until the mixture resembles a wet sand.
  • Spread the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish and pat it down firmly.
  • Bake the crust in the oven for 20 minutes.

Make the Filling:

  • Add half the Cool Whip to a mixing bowl along with the cream cheese and powdered sugar.
  • Use an electric hand mixer on a low speed to whisk the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
  • Gently spread the mixture over your graham cracker crust.
  • Whisk together the milk and chocolate pudding mix until no clumps of pudding mix remain.

Assemble the Chocolate Delight:

  • Pour the pudding mixture over the Cool Whip layer.
  • Top your pudding with the remaining Cool Whip. Smooth it out using a silicon spatula to make an even layer.
  • Freeze the dessert for 3 ½ hours and then let it sit on the counter to soften for 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Have the cream cheese softened: Room temperature cream cheese is going to be much easier to work into the Cool Whip. Just set it on the counter before you start making the crust and it should be soft enough to use by the time your crust is out of the oven.
Keep an eye on the crust: The crust is done when it's golden. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn or get too dark.
Spread carefully: Be careful when spreading the Cool Whip over the crust. If you're too rough, you might pull up pieces of the crust as you spread it.
