A deliciously simple dessert that captures the essence of a classic chocolate eclair without needing an oven.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14.4 oz box of graham crackers
  • 2 (3.4 oz) packages of instant vanilla pudding
  • 3 cups of milk
  • 1 (8 oz) tub of whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

  11. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.
  12. Slice into 12 pieces and serve cold.
