How to Make Chocolate Mint Eclair

  1. Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Line the bottom of the pan with 3 graham cracker halves and 6 whole graham crackers. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk and 1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes until thickened.
  4. Whisk in 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring (adjust to desired intensity).
  5. Gently fold in 1 (8 oz) container of Cool Whip.
  6. Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer in the pan.
  7. Repeat step 2: add another layer of 3 graham cracker halves and 6 whole graham crackers.
  8. Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second cracker layer.
  9. Top with a final layer of graham crackers (3 halves and 6 whole).
  10. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  11. Prepare the frosting: Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
  12. Stir in 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream until smooth and blended.
  13. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  14. Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top layer of graham crackers.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
