Add a spoonful or two of the pudding to the bottom of a 10 1/2 by 7-inch (or equivalent) baking dish and spread to cover the bottom.
Place a layer of NILLA Wafers over the pudding, breaking some in half, if necessary.
Cover the tops of the NILLA Wafers evenly with the vanilla pudding, then add another layer of NILLA Wafers.
Top that layer with the whipped topping.
Ice the NILLA Wafers for the top layer with the chocolate icing and decorate before placing on top of the whipped cream.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow time for the NILLA Wafers to get soft.
