Chocolate Eclair Cake
I can't go to a family function without this dessert! My family loves this! I have been making this for many years and got the recipe from a co-worker!
The homemade icing is what makes this dessert taste just like an eclair from the hometown bakery! It sure beats any icing from a can!
Nice and creamy and it disappears fast! You will always go home with an empty dish!
Cake:
2 (3.4 ounce each) boxes instant vanilla pudding
3 cups cold milk
8 ounces cool whip
1 box graham crackers (you won't use them all)
Icing:
1½ cups powdered sugar
2 ounces unsweet Baker's chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 teaspoon light Karo syrup
2 Tablespoons butter, softened
4 Tablespoons milk
For the cake:
Mix pudding, milk and cool whip until it is a pudding texture.
In a 9x13 pan, put a layer of graham crackers and then spread 1/2 of pudding mixture. Repeat another layer and end with crackers on top.
Icing:
Mix powdered sugar, melted chocolate, vanilla, Karo syrup, butter and milk until somewhat thick. Spread over top layer of graham crackers.
Chill overnight or at least 8 hours.
