Chocolate Cream Dessert for Christmas That Doesn’t Require Baking

In a large bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens. This will take about 2 minutes. Set aside to chill in the fridge while you prepare the cream layer.
Make the Whipped Cream:

In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
Layer the Dessert:

In a serving dish (like a trifle bowl or a 9×9-inch dish), layer the crushed graham crackers or chocolate cookie crumbs as the base. Then, spread a layer of the chocolate pudding over the crumbs, followed by a layer of the whipped cream.
Repeat the Layers:

Repeat the layers of crumbs, pudding, and whipped cream until you’ve used up all the ingredients, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Chill:

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Garnish and Serve:

Before serving, sprinkle the top with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for extra decoration. Serve chilled.
