Coconut cream is dairy-free and adds a unique flavor.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

chocolate pudding

🥗Healthier: avocado chocolate mousse

💰Cheaper: instant chocolate pudding mix

Avocado mousse is healthier and provides a creamy texture.

Whisk together the instant vanilla pudding and milk in a large bowl. Stir in the whipped topping until well combined.

Arrange ½ of the graham crackers in the bottom of a 9-x13-inch baking dish. Spread ½ of the vanilla pudding evenly over the graham crackers. Add a second layer of graham crackers over the pudding, then spread the remaining vanilla pudding on top. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap, and transfer it to the refrigerator to chill.

Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat for about 2 to 4 minutes until hot, but not boiling. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the chocolate chips, and wait 1 minute before mixing. Mix until a smooth ganache forms.

Pour the ganache over the cake, and spread it out with the back of a spoon. Cover the baking dish, and transfer back into the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
