4

Top with a second layer of graham crackers, followed by the second half of the pudding.

5

Top with the final layer of graham crackers.

6

Whisk together the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, melted butter and 3 Tbsp whole milk to make the chocolate frosting.

7

Spread chocolate frosting over the graham crackers and place in the freezer for 3 hours.

Take out 15 minutes before serving from freezer to make it easy to cut. Enjoy!
