Ingredients
- 1 16 Ounces (oz) package graham crackers, divided
- 6 Cups whole milk
- 2 5 Ounces (oz) packages non-instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 Cup heavy cream
- 8 Ounces (oz) dark chocolate, minced
- 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
- 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) sea salt
- 0.5 Cups toasted nuts (such as almonds or pecans), minced
Steps
- Prepare the Base: Cover the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish with a layer of graham crackers. Set aside.
- Make the Pudding: In a large saucepan, combine the milk and chocolate pudding mix. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble. Remove from heat.
- Layer the Dessert: Pour half of the hot pudding over the graham crackers in the dish. Add another layer of graham crackers, then pour the remaining pudding on top. Finish with a final layer of graham crackers.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the pudding is fully set.
- Prepare the Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the minced dark chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
- Assemble the Topping: Once the pudding is set, pour the chocolate ganache over the top layer of graham crackers, spreading evenly.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped toasted nuts over the ganache.
- Serve: Slice and serve chilled, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
