Eclair Cake

The Éclair Cake reckon has been around for years. It is a magical dessert that starts amongst pudding mix too graham crackers, too when it sits inward the refrigerator overnight, something magical happens. The graham cracker layer "softens" too form of turns into a "cake" layer (people are shocked when they notice out its only graham crackers). The whole affair is delicious and my work solid unit of measurement has enjoyed it a 1000000 times. It is besides a HUGE HIT at potlucks. 

(2) 3½ ounce instant vanilla pudding
3  1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounce Cool Whip thawed
1 pound of graham crackers

CHOCOLATE FROSTING

6 tablespoons butter (melted)
6 tablespoons boiling water
6 tablespoons baking cocoa
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Place a unmarried layer of graham crackers inward the bottom of a 9x13 dish (breaking to tally if necessary). With an electrical mixer, beat the instant pudding too milk until really smoothen (about two minutes) then crimp inward the Cool Whip. Immediately pour one-half of this mixture over the 1st layer of graham crackers, spreading it out evenly.

Put some other layer of graham crackers on transcend of the pudding too hence some other layer of pudding mixture. Top second layer of pudding amongst a concluding layer of graham crackers.

Cover the dish tightly, amongst plastic wrap, too refrigerate for virtually an hr before you frost it.

After an hr of chilling, whisk together the melted butter, boiling water, cocoa too vanilla until good blended. Add powdered saccharide too whisk until smooth. Immediately pour the frosting over the chilled pudding dessert too gently smoothen it out.

Place dessert (uncovered) inward refrigerator for an hr or hence (until the frosting feels dry out to the touch),then stretch plastic wind over the pan(stretching it tightly hence that it doesn't sag too touching on the frosting)or you lot tin only snap a lid onto the dish.

 Refrigerate overnight (important).

NOTE: After this "cake" has been inward the fridge, overnight, it is slow to cutting into squares to serve because the graham crackers are soft.

NOTE: I of late made this amongst chocolate instant pudding too chocolate graham crackers (followed the recipe otherwise). After it sat overnight inward the fridge, the chocolate graham crackers tasted only similar chocolate cake....excellent variation.
