How to Make Chocolate Eclair Dessert

  4. Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
  5. Place a second layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding.
  6. Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers.
  7. Top with a third layer of graham crackers.
  8. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 (16 ounce) container of chocolate frosting in 30-second intervals, stirring until softened and spreadable.
  9. Spread the softened frosting evenly over the top layer of graham crackers.
  10. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely.
  11. Cut into squares and serve chilled.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
