Chocolate Eclair Cake

Cake Ingredients:

1 large box vanilla pudding

3 cups milk

8 oz cool whip

Graham crackers

Icing Ingredients (note: the measurements are weird because I make one and a half recipes for the icing...which makes it nice and chocolatey!): 

1.5 cup sugar

1/4 tsp + 1/8 tsp salt

3 3/4 Tbs. Baking cocoa powder (no sugar added)

1/4 cup + 2 Tbs. milk

1/4 cup + 2 Tbs. margarine or butter

3/4 Tbs. vanilla

Line bottom of 9x13 with graham crackers

Mix pudding with the three cups milk, fold in the cool whip. Spoon half of mixture on crackers. Top with layer of graham crackers and spoon second half on top. Add final layer of graham crackers and top with icing. 

Icing: mix first 4 ingredients and bring to boil. Boil 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat add butter and vanilla. Cool and beat then pour over cracker layer. Refrigerate dessert for couple of hours to solidify the dessert.

Note: Be careful not to let the icing cook too long because it will get too thick to pour. 

 

 

Ps. Be sure to have a large spoon on hand once it is ready to eat.....not that it's any good or anything.
