Back in May our church’s Community Group got together for dinner. Our hostess made two kinds of chili: a Turkey Chili and a Vegetarian Chili. Both were extremely good. She also added some cornbread. I asked if I could bring a dessert. I was looking through my pantry and realized I had all the ingredients on hand to make this dessert.
You wouldn’t believe the rave reviews I got over this one. When I told everyone it was so EASY and used only 5 ingredients they were amazed. Even those who don’t eat a lot of dessert tried a sample. A few went back for seconds. A couple of the guys put huge slabs on their plates! 🙂 And everyone oooohhhhed and aaaaahhhhhed over it.
Who would have thought that layering chocolate pudding between layers of graham crackers and adding a fudge chocolate frosting on top would turn out so wonderfully! But it does. If you want a fabulous dessert to wow your family and friends for company gatherings or holidays, Chocolate Éclair Dessert should be at the top of your bucket list. Watch everyone drool. 🙂
Chocolate Éclair Dessert is fantastic.
Chocolate pudding is spread between layers of graham crackers. Add Fudge Frosting on top and you have a drool-worthy dessert everyone will love!
This dessert is so easy to make since it uses only five ingredients!
Chocolate Éclair Dessert is perfect for company or holiday meals.
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
Pour chocolate pudding into a large mixing bowl.
Add half-and-half cream.
I add the half-and-half slowly–about 1/2 cup at a time, working in with the mixer after each addition. That way you don’t get pudding splatter all over your counter tops and cabinets!
Add Cool Whip.
Stir ingredients with a wooden spoon until completely combined.
Spread one package of graham crackers in the bottom of a 9×13″ glass baking dish. You will have to break up some of the graham crackers to fit the dish.
Spread half of the chocolate pudding mixture over top of the graham cracker layer.
Spread another package of graham crackers over top of the first layer of chocolate pudding.
Spread remaining chocolate pudding over top of the graham cracker layer.
Top with remaining package of graham crackers.
With a knife or an icing spreader, spread canned chocolate fudge frosting over top of the final graham cracker layer. I microwaved the frosting about 10 seconds (without lid or foil) to soften the frosting enough for easy spreading.
Spread icing all the way to the edges of the dish filling in gaps as smoothly as possible.
Refrigerate dessert until ready to serve.
Chocolate Éclair Dessert can be whipped up in less than 10 minutes!
Decorate the dessert with fresh fruit, if desired.
Even those who don’t eat a lot of sweets will rave over this delicious dessert that tastes like eating Chocolate Éclairs!
Even your kids will enjoy making up a batch of Chocolate Éclair Dessert!
