Chocolate Eclair Cake

I love all kinds of sweets, but I don't think there's anything better than a great icebox dessert!  I LOVE THIS RECIPE and have been making it for years!  It always gets rave reviews and I get lots of requests for the recipe!  You won't believe how easy this one is!  Plan to make this one the night before you'll be serving it to allow the graham crackers to soften and the filling to set up!!!



Here's what you'll need! (. . . and only 5 ingredients!!!)

Whisk both packages of pudding with 3 cups milk until well blended and it begins to thicken a little.

Fold in an 8 oz. container of Cool Whip.

Lay graham crackers in a single layer in 9x13 pan.

Spread 1/2 of pudding mixture over graham crackers.  (Look at that yummy filling!!!!!!!!!)

Add another layer of whole graham crackers.  (It doesn't have to be perfect- USE THE BROKEN PIECES- IT WON'T MATTER!!)

Pour remainder of mixture over graham crackers.

Add a third layer of graham crackers on top.

Remove lid and aluminum seal from frosting can and soften frosting in microwave for 20-25 seconds.  (Note:  Be sure to remove all traces of the aluminum seal before microwaving!!)  Pour icing on graham crackers and spread evenly with a spatula.

IT'S THAT EASY!!!!!!!!  Refrigerate overnight!!!

This was the lonely piece leftover from today's family get together!  Look at all those yummy layers!!
