No-Bake Chocolate Eclair Cake
Ingredients:
- 2 (3.5 oz) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (COOL WHIP), thawed
- 3 cups milk
- 2 sleeves graham cracker squares
- 1 (16 oz) tub chocolate frosting
Directions:
1. Prepare Pudding Mixture:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and thawed whipped topping until smooth and well combined.
2. Layering:
- In a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham cracker squares to cover the bottom of the dish. Break some crackers if necessary to ensure full coverage.
- Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the layer of graham crackers.
- Add another layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture.
- Spread the remaining half of the pudding mixture over this layer of graham crackers.
- Finish with a final layer of graham crackers.
3. Chilling:
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the pudding to set.
4. Prepare Chocolate Frosting:
- Remove the lid and aluminum foil top from the chocolate frosting tub.
- Microwave the frosting for about 15 seconds to soften it, then stir until it reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency.
5. Final Assembly:
- Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish and evenly spread the softened chocolate frosting over the top layer of graham crackers.
- Cover the dish again with plastic wrap and return it to the refrigerator. Let it chill overnight.
6. Serving:
- The dessert improves in flavor as the graham crackers soften over time in the pudding mixture.
- When ready to serve, slice into portions and enjoy!
