Chocolate Éclair Cake

Yields: 12                                             Prep Time: 30 minutes                                                     Cook Time: 10 minutes

2 3.3oz Packages of French Vanilla Instant Pudding

3 Cups of Milk

8 oz of Cool Whip

2 Sleeves of Honey Gram Crackers

2 Unsweetened Chocolate Bars

2 Tbs. of butter

2 Tbs. Light Corn Syrup

1 Tsp. of Vanilla

1 ½ Cups of Powder Sugar

3 Tbs. of Milk

The first thing you want to do is make the pudding. Mixing the instant pudding mix with the 3 cups of milk for about 2 to 3 minutes till the powder is fully dissolved. After the 2-3 minutes you need to add the 8 oz. cool whip to the pudding mixture and continue to fold in until completely mixed.

Now that you have your pudding mixed you need to line the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan with the gram crackers. Then pour ½ of the pudding mixture over the gram crackers. Add another layer of gram crackers and spread the reaming mixture over the top of the second lay of gram crackers and refrigerate for 6- 8 hour (overnight is best).

Now it’s time for the chocolate part of the Chocolate éclair cake. Take the chocolate bars and butter and melt them together. Take this melted mixture and add the corn syrup, vanilla, powder sugar, and milk and blend them together. Pour the chocolate mixture over the pudding and gram crackers and set it in the refrigerator to harden. Once it becomes stiff its ready to be cut and served.

Some might say that this is not worth it but this is a labor of love and a truly delectable dessert.
