👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Filling
   In a large bowl, whisk pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thick. Fold in whipped topping gently until smooth.

4. Repeat Layers
   Add another layer of graham crackers, then the remaining pudding mixture. Top with a final layer of graham crackers.

5. Frost the Top
