Delicious Chocolate Eclair Dessert Recipe with 5 Ingredients

Ingredients

Servings:
24
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz)
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2% milk)
  • 1 package graham crackers (14.4 oz)
  • 1 container whipped topping (8 oz)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Pudding

    In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth.

    Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
  2. Combine with Whipped Cream

    Fold in the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully combined.

    Be gentle to maintain the light texture.
  3. Layer the Ingredients

    In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer graham crackers at the bottom.

    You may break the crackers to fit them perfectly.
  4. Add Pudding Mixture

    Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.

    Smooth it out evenly for a nice layer.
  5. Repeat Layers

    Add another layer of graham crackers followed by the remaining pudding mixture.

    Finish with a final layer of graham crackers on top.
  6. Chill the Dessert

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

    This allows the graham crackers to soften.
