Chocolate Eclair Cake
Recipe from Thattoddlertown.blogspot.com
4 small boxes of instant French Vanilla Pudding
4 cups milk (I have used 2% or 1% with no noticeable difference)
1 box of graham crackers (I prefer Nabisco, they seem to hold shape better once they soften in the cake)
1 large container of whipped topping thawed (I have used regular and light with no noticeable difference)
1 can of whipped chocolate frosting
With a mixer combine pudding and milk, then fold in thawed whipped topping until mixed. Layer a 13 X 9 baking dish with graham crackers. Make sure to take the Graham Crackers all the way to the edge of the dish. I even will break the crackers into quarters and line up the sides of the dish. This helps the dessert stay together when cutting. Then spread 1/2 the pudding mixture over the graham crackers. Repeat process finishing with graham crackers on top. Spread Chocolate frosting and refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour. Cut dessert in squares and can be served with seasonal fruit on top. I use fresh strawberries or raspberries.
Pippa's Pointers: I have used all types of graham crackers, cinnamon, regular, low fat even chocolate if I could find them. I will say that when you use the whipped frosting and beat it a little more before using, it makes it easier to spread over the graham crackers and it makes the taste of the icing a little less overpowering.
Not the greatest picture but it WAS delicious.
