The Cookbook Experiment: Chocolate Eclair Dessert

Tonight's dessert cookbook experiment is "Chocolate Eclair Dessert" by one of the most amazing women that you will ever meet. Sandy McConnell is such a champion of faith. I have the utmost admiration for her and her faithfulness to God, to church, to her family. She is selfless and giving. I am a much better person for having her as my friend. She lifts me up. One knows for certain that when she says she is praying for you that she means it.

Chocolate Eclair Dessert

(1) box low fat graham crackers (24 crackers)
(2) boxes Vanilla instant pudding (fat free)
(4 1/2) cups skim milk
(12) ounce Lite Cook Whip (thawed)
(1) box chocolate instant pudding (sugar free)

Place 8 crackers in bottom of 13" x 9" pan. Mix vanilla pudding with 3 cups milk, mix well and let stand for 2 minutes. Gently fold in lite Cool Whip. Pour half over the graham crackers. Top with another 8 graham cracker, pour remaining pudding mixture over crackers. Top with last 8 crackers. Mix the chocolate pudding mix with 1 1/2 cups milk, let stand 2 minutes. Spread over graham crackers, let sit 6 hours or overnight to soften the graham crackers. Strawberries can be used as a garnish for this.
My take-a-ways for this recipe:

  • No ounce size was listed for the pudding mixes. By process of elimination I determined that the (3) ounce size is what was required.
  • Truthfully, I did not do anything "lowfat" or "sugar free". I used regular graham crackers, regular pudding and whole milk. 
  • This is so amazing!!! Thank you Sandy!
