Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 3.4 oz boxes Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 cups Milk
- 1 16 oz container Cool Whip (or whipped topping)
- 1 14.4 oz box Graham crackers
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Butter
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Whisk together for about 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
2. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until no streaks remain. Set aside.
3. In a 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom of the dish completely. Break the crackers as needed to fit.
4. Spread half of the prepared pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
5. Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture.
6. Spread the remaining half of the pudding mixture over this second layer of graham crackers.
7. Add a final layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture to complete the layers.
8. To prepare the chocolate topping, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
9. Allow the chocolate topping to cool for 5 minutes, and then spread evenly over the top layer of graham crackers.
10. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set and the graham crackers to soften.
11. Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your creamy, indulgent chocolate eclair pudding!
