No-Bake Chocolate Eclair Dessert


  • Author: not just recipe
  • Total Time: 8 hours
  • Yield: 10-12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (3.4 oz.) boxes vanilla instant pudding
  • 2 1/2 c. milk
  • 1 (8 oz.) container Cool Whip non-dairy whipped topping (or 3 c. homemade whipped cream)
  • 1 (14.4 oz) box graham crackers

 

Chocolate Topping:
  • 1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 c. granulated sugar
  • 1/4 c. milk
  • 1/2 c. butter (1 stick)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

 


Instructions

Prepare the filling:
  1. Combine dry pudding mix and 2 & 1/2 cups milk; beat until well mixed. Stir in Cool Whip.
  2. Place a layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a 9×13″ dish.
  3. Spread 1/2 of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers. Repeat with another layer of graham crackers and pudding; then top with a final layer of graham crackers.
Prepare the chocolate topping:
  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, bring cocoa, milk, and sugar to a full rolling boil; boil about 1 minute, stirring very frequently.
  2. Remove from heat and cool one minute. Add butter and vanilla; stir until butter is melted.
  3. Pour chocolate topping over the top layer of graham crackers. Spread evenly to completely cover graham crackers.
  4. Cover dessert and refrigerate over night.
TRACEY’S NOTES:
  1. Keep in mind when making this, No-Bake Chocolate Eclair Dessert must chill overnight to set and allow the layers to meld.
  2. When making the chocolate topping, be sure to let the mixture come to a full rolling boil. Otherwise, it will stay too soft and runny on top of the dessert — rather than setting into a nice fudgy layer.
  3. Enjoy! (Seriously, enjoy! … this stuff is soooooo good.)
