Ingredients
- 14 sheets Graham crackers
- 2 packages Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups Milk
- 1 container (8 ounces) Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the instant vanilla pudding mix by whisking the two packages with 3 cups of milk. Whisk for around 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Step 2
Gently fold the Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until fully incorporated, forming a creamy custard filling.
Step 3
In the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, place a single layer of graham cracker sheets, ensuring to cover the surface completely. Break the crackers if necessary to fit them.
Step 4
Spread half of the custard filling evenly over the graham crackers. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Step 5
Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the filling, ensuring full coverage.
Step 6
Spread the remaining custard filling on top of the second layer of graham crackers. Smooth the surface evenly.
Step 7
Add a final layer of graham crackers on top of the custard to complete the layers.
Step 8
To prepare the chocolate topping, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 9
Let the chocolate topping cool slightly, then pour it over the top layer of graham crackers in the baking dish. Spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.
Step 10
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.
Step 11
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your decadent, no-bake chocolate eclair cake!
