Eclair Cake



A family favorite that we've been making for years. Overnight refrigeration is required, so plan ahead. Who knew such a simple dessert could be so good? Not sure where the original recipe came from.

1 (1 lb.) box graham crackers
2 small boxes instant vanilla pudding
3 1/2 cups milk
1 (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Butter the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Line with graham crackers. Mix pudding with milk. Fold in whipped topping. Layer pudding mixture over graham crackers. You should have 3 graham cracker layers and 2 pudding layers. Top with frosting and refrigerate overnight.

Frosting
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
3 TBSP butter, softened
1/3 cup milk
2 tsp. light corn syrup
2 tsp. vanilla

Blend sugar and cocoa. Add butter and milk, mixing well. Add corn syrup and vanilla. Stir until creamy.
