Description

A simple, no-bake dessert that combines the classic flavors of a chocolate eclair with easy preparation.


Ingredients

  • 1 box (14.4 oz) of graham crackers
  • 2 packages (3.4 oz each) of instant vanilla pudding
  • 3 cups of milk
  • 1 tub (8 oz) of whipped topping
  • 1 can (16 oz) of chocolate frosting


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, mix together the instant pudding and the milk. Let it sit until it firms up, taking roughly 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Fold in the whipped topping gently once the pudding has thickened.
  3. Lightly spray a 9 x 13-inch glass pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. Place a layer of whole graham crackers on the bottom of the pan, breaking them apart as needed to cover completely.
  5. Spread half of the pudding mixture on top of the crackers.
  6. Layer another set of graham crackers over the pudding mixture.
  7. Spread the remaining half of the pudding mixture on top of the new layer of crackers.
  8. Add a last layer of graham crackers on top.
  9. Warm the chocolate frosting in the microwave for 10-12 seconds to soften it, then stir well.
  10. Spread the chocolate frosting evenly across the entire cake.
  11. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours to allow the graham crackers to soften.
  12. After chilling, slice into 12 pieces and serve cold.

Notes
