Description

A decadent no-bake dessert inspired by classic chocolate éclairs, made with layers of cookies, creamy vanilla filling, and a rich chocolate topping.


Ingredients

  • 2 packages graham crackers or tea biscuits
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 2 packages instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 7 oz (200 g) dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk cold milk with the vanilla pudding mix until thick and smooth.
  2. Arrange a single layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a rectangular dish.
  3. Spread a generous layer of vanilla pudding over the crackers.
  4. Repeat layering crackers and pudding, finishing with a pudding layer on top.
  5. In a saucepan over low heat, melt dark chocolate with butter and heavy cream, stirring until smooth.
  6. Pour the chocolate topping evenly over the dessert and smooth the surface.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling allows the crackers to soften into a cake-like texture.
  • This dessert tastes even better when made a day ahead.
  • You can add a little espresso powder to the chocolate for deeper flavor.
