Yummy Faux Eclair…
May 22nd, 2007 by Jen
So, this is interesting…none of the winners {from yesterday’s post} have emailed me yet. Please email me asap. Thanks! 
On Saturday I hosted a little potluck with some SCS friends {susiestampalot, steubner, s00zy66 and kikikaren}. Good food and conversation were in abundance. We stamped a little, but mostly just chatted and chowed. I made Faux Éclair, which was first introduced to me by Tony’s grandma a few years ago. I have yet to meet someone that does not like this super yummy dessert {even picky kids!!}. If you give it a shot, let me know what ya think!
Faux Éclair
9×13 pan
2 boxes Honey Graham Crackers
2 small boxes French Vanilla Instant Pudding
2 2/3 cups milk
1 Large (the big one) container Cool Whip
1 tub Milk Chocolate Frosting
Combine pudding mix and milk together.
Stir with wire whisk for about 2 minutes, or until thick.
Add most of the Cool Whip to the pudding. (I use all but about a cup)
Starting with graham crackers, layer graham crackers and pudding mixture. Use 1/3 of pudding mixture for each layer. You will end up with 4 layers of graham crackers and 3 layers of pudding.
Microwave tub of frosting in 5-10 second segments for a total of 35 seconds {with the lid and foil OFF}. Pour and spread frosting on the top graham cracker layer.
Refrigerate for at least 5-6 hours. {You don’t want the graham crackers to be crunchy.}
ETA: Someone asked what I did with the other cup of the Cool Whip. I use it for something else The big tub is just a little too big, but the medium size tub always seems to be lacking. You can always add more for taste, tho. Hope this helps.
I can surely attest that this dessert is to die for! Thanks for making it, Jen. And, thanks for posting the recipe. My hubby will love it.
Looks excellent! I think I need to try this one–company coming this weekend!
Oh Yummmm!! Just in time for our trip to Missouri for the Memorial Day weekend. Since I’m doing Weight Watchers I’ll substitute sugar-free, fat-free pudding and fat-free cool whip and not worry!!! Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh I must be PMS’ing because I’m drooling all over the computer monitor. I’ll definitely be giving this one a try
Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Isn’t this the most deliciously-yummy concoction ever!!!!
Oh I am sooooo making this! It just looks so ymuuy. Thank you for including the picture — I hate when recipes do not have pictures! I guess I am a very visual person!
OMG! My hips are SCREAMING for this dessert! My husband is coming home from working in the States for a month and I’m sure he would LOVE this! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! I’m jottin’ it down!
Am I missing something? What did you do with the cup of Cool Whip that you reserved?
Yum-O!! This looks sooo delish. I know it’s going to be a recipe I am going to *love* trying out!
This looks so yummy! I have made something similar to this before but I haven’t had it in a long time. I’ll have to make it and hide it for just DH and I. I have a 4 year old who is allergic to chocolate so we have to hide it in our home.
Yummmmyyyyyyyy!!!!! I will definitely have to give this one a try.
YUMMY! I will be trying this recipe over the weekend.

This looks good and seems like it would be fairly easy too! Yay! Will be trying it the next time I need to make a dessert.
No winners responded???? Hey — if they don’t want your goodies I do! I shared your recipe with a friend of mine and we are planning to make it for out “Chistmas in June” stamping party! Can’t wait!

I’ve made this recipe many times, and it’s always a hit. Try using cinnamon grahams for a little change. It’s awesome!
