Recipe: Eclair Cake



After the Spiced Zucchini Cake with Spiced Maple Frosting, I had a hard time trying to convince Mike that there could be other yummy desserts. Once he gave me the green light to make something else, I had asked him about his thoughts on an Eclair Cake. He looked at me funny, at first, so I figured that I had to explain what an eclair is...turns out that I didn't but he was just thinking about how it'd turn out. Doesn't he know that I'm making it? =)
This dessert takes no time at all to prepare, and is a quick and easy dessert to make before any guests arrive! I even gave a piece to my grandmother, who also loved it!


2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (ie cool whip)
3 cups milk
16 ounce package graham cracker squares*
16 ounce container prepared chocolate frosting


In a medium bowl, thoroughly blend the pudding mix, whipped topping and milk.
Arrange a single layer of graham cracker squares in the bottom of a 13x9 inch pan. Evenly spread half of the pudding mixture over the crackers. Top with another layer of crackers and the remaining pudding mixture. Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
Melt frosting in the microwave for 30 seconds and spread the frosting over the whole cake up to the edges of the pan.
Cover and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.


Enjoy!
