My Favorite Dessert…
Many moons ago when my husband and I were dating, I was introduced to a dessert made by his grandmother called “Faux Eclair.” One bite and I was in love with this delightful combination of vanilla, graham and chocolate! I blogged about this dessert once upon a time long ago, but thought that I would do so again after I got a delicious picture of it the other day…
Doesn’t it look yummy? Here’s the recipe, just in case you need to make sure it’s good…
Ingredients:
2 regular size pkgs. of French Vanilla instant pudding
3 cups of cold milk
1 regular size tub of Cool Whip
1 container of Milk Chocolate frosting
1 pkg. Honey graham crackers
Directions:
Combine both packages of pudding and milk together until thickened.
Add Cool Whip to pudding and mix well.
In a 9×13 pan, layer graham crackers and pudding mixture. {grahams, pudding, grahams, pudding, grahams}.
Frost with chocolate frosting.
NOTE: I microwave my frosting for about 30-45 seconds in 15 second intervals to make it easy to pour and spread on the frosting. Don’t forget to take off the lid and foil if you choose to do this, too!
Chill overnight. Yes, overnight! It’s ready to go in about 4-6 hours, but overnight is best…and who doesn’t love dessert for breakfast!
These can be made in individual cups or jars, as well! Wrap up in a cello bag with a ribbon and it’s a darn cute treat!
Um, this is a low-cal dessert, right?? Sounds absolutely heavenly!

This looks so yummy! And Karen to make it low-cal, get the sugar free instant pudding, fat free milk and use light cool whip. As for the chocolate frosting, I draw the line at messing with my chocolate - LOL!

YUM!!! I am making this over the weekend - sounds soooo good! I will try making this lowcal by using lowfat milk and cool whip.
BTW, I pinned this on pinterest and within minutes it has been liked or repinned 10 times!
WOW, Awesome..Cannot wait to give this a try. Sounds so yumm.
Oh yum! That looks totally delicious! I think that might be the next dessert I bring to the staff pot luck lunches!
Looks yummy! I’ll have to google to find out what these ingredients are. Your band-names don’t tell anything to me - I’m from Finland.
My Mom made chocolate eclair cake for us as kids and it’s a recipe I love, but we make our frosting and it’s RICH. I think I might have to make one of these for my girls weekend next weekend…thanks for the reminder of it.
oh this looks and sounds yummy!! and easy to make is right up my alley
OMGosh! The picture looks good enough to eat! Hee! I had totally forgotten about this recipe. I need a dessert for Sat. night and I have everything to make this so I’ll make it tonight … thanks!
This looks MAR-VE-LOUS (in my Billy Crystal voice)! I have to try it. One ?— do you crumble the grahams or leave whole (I know, I know, Desserts for Dummies Vol. 5)
Sounds yummy and seems easy enough. I am having a SU party in March and was trying to think what I could make for my guests. I think this will be very nice. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Oh sounds and looks yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I hope you are feeling much better soon from that cold. I’m just now recovering from a doozy of a cold that started a month ago! Take care!!!
Oh yum! This looks and sounds so good! I have to try this one. But just went back on my diet so will be saving this recipe until the next special occasion. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
This sounds absolutely delicious! I like your recipes almost as much as your cards!
Oh my gosh! I had totally forgotten about this super yummy dessert. I haven’t had it in quite a long time but now that you have brought it to the front of my mind…..I think that we will be making it this week. Thanks!
That looks SOOOOOOO YUMMY!! I can’t wait to try it.
@janice…just leave them whole. you will have to break some of them to get each layer covered, but no crumbling needed
This dessert sounds and looks so yummy! Thanks so much for sharing!
Mmmmmm, this looks so good! Saving for our next family get-together!
