Penny's Notes:

Easy!

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

This is sure to give you your chocolate fix!  It is such an easy dessert to prepare, and yet you still get all the flavor of a hard-to-make eclair. Take it to your next potluck and you will be sure to come home with an empty dish!

 

Directions

1
Using electric blender or wire whisk, in a large bowl, blend pudding and milk until smooth. Stir in Cool Whip until well blended and creamy.

Line the bottom of a 9x13 pan with graham crackers. Pour and spread ½ of pudding mixture on top of graham crackers. Add another layer of graham crackers on top of pudding mixture. Spread remaining pudding mixture onto graham crackers. Add another layer of graham crackers.

Place hot fudge topping in a microwavable bowl and heat for 1 minute. Stir and heat for 1 minute more. Stir again and pour over top layer of graham crackers. Spread until smooth.

Garnish top with maraschino cherries.

Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, for best results.

I made a similar recipe at Christmas for my Dad who is a diabetic. I just switched out pudding, cool whip and hot fudge for the sugar free. It turned out great.

Love the fat free and sugar options for pudding mix, and toppings. I've used them with great results in other recipes I have never used the ice cream topping this way, but I will...It looks great!

This is one of my favorite desserts ... but I've never tried it with the cherries. I'll have do that next time because I love maraschino cherries :-)

My husband and I really enjoyed this. It was too much for only 2 people to eat so I shared it with neighbors and they all loved it. I am not a big fan of graham crackers so I will give this another try using sliced pound cake and I will cut the recipe in half.
