Ingredients
For the layers:
-
1 box Graham Crackers (about 9×13-inch pan)
-
1 package (3.9 oz) Instant Chocolate Pudding
-
2 cups Milk
-
8 oz Cream Cheese
-
1/2 cup Butter, softened
-
1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
-
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
For the topping:
-
1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
-
1/4 cup Butter
Instructions
1. Make the Cream Layer
-
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Spread evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan.
2. Layer the Graham Crackers
-
Place a single layer of graham crackers over the cream cheese mixture. Break crackers to fit if necessary.
3. Make the Pudding Layer
-
In another bowl, whisk instant chocolate pudding with milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).
-
Pour over the graham crackers and spread evenly.
4. Add Another Layer of Crackers
-
Place another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding layer.
5. Make the Chocolate Topping
-
Melt chocolate chips and butter in the microwave (30-second intervals, stirring until smooth).
-
Pour over the top layer of crackers and spread evenly.
6. Chill
-
Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
-
The graham crackers will soften and absorb the pudding, giving the eclair-like texture.
7. Serve
-
Cut into squares and enjoy a rich, creamy, no-bake chocolate dessert.
💡 Tips:
-
Use low-fat or non-dairy milk for a lighter version.
-
Add whipped cream on top for extra creaminess.
-
For variety, try chocolate chip cookies instead of graham crackers.
