Chocolate Eclair Dessert..

Got back from DisneyWorld on Sunday, what a wonderful time we had, just relaxing and no cooking, but I did miss making desserts for my family, so had to come home and post this wonderful dessert I made for the 1st time for my husband who loves chocolate, and my girls LOVED this dessert too!!

Chocolate Eclair Dessert:
2 (3 ounce) pkgs. instant vanilla pudding
3 cups milk
8 ounce Cool Whip
16 ounce box graham crackers

Mix pudding with milk. When it starts to thicken, fold in whipped topping. Line a 9x13 pan with one layer of graham crackers. Pour half of the pudding mixture over the crackers, add an additional layer of crackers on top of the pudding; then pour the remaining pudding on top.

To this layer of pudding, finish with a 3rd layer of crackers and cover with chocolate icing. Pour icing over the cracker-pudding mixture. Refrigerate overnight to soften the crackers. My family is too impatient for that, so just refrigerate at least 6 hours....

Icing:
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup cocoa
2 cups powdered sugar
4 Tablespoons milk

In a medium bowl, mix together butter, cocoa, powdered sugar and milk...
TIP: After I mix the icing together, it's pretty thick, I let it sit on the counter for about 10-15 minutes to soften a little, just makes it easier to spread on graham crackers...

  1. My step mom used to make this all the time growing up! She would generally just used whipped store bought frosting though. I bet yours is a bit lighter than what I'm used too:) Mmmm now I need to make this:)
