Ingredients

Eclair Cake:

  • 1 box of graham crackers 3 sleeves
  • 7,8 ounces 2 boxes Instant vanilla pudding
  • 3 cups of milk
  • 8 ounce container frozen whipped topping thawed

Chocolate Topping:

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Place instant vanilla pudding and milk into a large bowl. Use a hand mixer or whisk to mix this together well.
  • 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.
  • Spread about half of the pudding mixture evenly over this layer of crackers.
  • Use another sleeve of graham crackers to create another layer.
  • Spread the other half of the pudding mixture evenly over this layer of 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 each time. Once you smooth, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Then immediately pour it over the cake. Gently smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Cover with plastic wrap or foil and place in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 8 hour or overnight.

  3. This needs to chill for at least 8 hours or overnight for best results.
  4. Make sure that you are using INSTANT pudding and not cook and serve.
