Eclaire Cake

This recipe is super easy- and yet it tastes like it was difficult to make.  Who knew that unsalted saltine crackers could mimic pastry?

INGREDIENTS

2 pkgs instant vanilla pudding mix

3 cups milk

1 container whipped topping

2 sleeves unsalted saltine crackers

1 jar chocolate cake frosting

DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl, make pudding with 3 cups milk instead of 4.  Blend in whipped cream.

Arrange a single layer of saltine crackers on bottom of pan.  Add half of pudding mix.  Top with another layer of saltine crackers, and remaining pudding mix.  Top final layer of saltine crackers with chocolate pudding.

Let sit at least overnight for best results.

VERDICT

The picture does this no justice.  This recipe is insanely good.  No one ate the adorable black Forrest cupcakes because this was such a hit.

If you want to make it easier, skip layering the pudding and crackers.  You get more pudding and less pastry, but personally I like the mulit-layers!

This tastes just like an eclaire.  But better :)

NUTRITION

Yeah... let's not even go there today.  Everything in moderation, right?
