Ingredients
- 1 box Graham crackers 3 sleeves of graham crackers
- 7 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix 2 3.5 ounce boxes pudding
- 3 cups cold milk
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping works well
Chocolate Topping
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place instant vanilla pudding mix and milk into a large bowl. Using a mixer or whisk, mix well to combine. Fold in the thawed whipped topping.
- Cover the bottom of a 9X13 inch baking dish with graham crackers. Break them as necessary to completely cover the bottom. Each layer should use about 1 sleeve of graham crackers. Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over this layer of graham crackers.
- Use another sleeve of graham crackers to create a second layer. Spread the remaining pudding mixture evenly over this layer of graham crackers. Use the last sleeve of graham crackers to cover the pudding mixture.
- Place chocolate chips, heavy cream, corn syrup, and vanilla into a medium sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Continue cooking for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval. Once you are able to stir it to a smooth consistency, allow to cool for a few minutes. After cooling slightly pour the chocolate mixture over the eclair cake. Smooth chocolate with a spatula.
- Cover the cake with foil or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 8 hours, though overnight is prefered.
