1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers (or vanilla wafer cookies) with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form an even layer.
Make the Pudding: In another bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, water, and instant chocolate pudding mix until smooth. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
Layer the Dessert: Pour the chocolate pudding mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly. Place in the refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes.
Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chocolate pudding layer.
Garnish and Chill: If desired, sprinkle chocolate shavings or cocoa powder on top for garnish. Cover and refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
