Chocolate Eclair Dessert

My DH is "the" cook in our family. I do know how to cook. It's just doing it daily that takes the "creativity" out of it:) DH took over the cooking when we first got married and I had to return to graduate school. Guess he got tired of baked chicken and baked potatoes (put in oven, read for an hour until done) I do love baking and making desserts. This weekend I mixed up a low sugar dessert for our guests. I did remember to take photos before I began. I usually remember after I'm finished.




Place 8 low fat graham crackers in bottom of a 13 x 9 inch pan.
Mix 2 small sugar-free instant vanilla pudding and 3 cups skim milk. Mix well. (I like to use one large box of pudding and 2% milk because it's usually what I have in the house.
Gently fold in 12 ounces of Cool Whip lite. 
Pour half of the pudding/cool whip mixture on top of graham crackers.

Top with another 8 graham crackers. Pour remaining pudding over crackers. Top with last 8 graham crackers. ( I like fewer graham crackers and sometimes skip this step)
Mix the small instant chocolate pudding with 1 1/2 cups skim milk. Let sit 2 minutes. ( I love chocolate so I used the large box of chocolate pudding with 2 cups of 2% milk)
Spread over graham crackers. Let sit 6 hours or overnight in refrigerator to soften crackers. Strawberries may be served on top for garnish.
My dessert was a big hit on Sunday evening and on Monday evening with our family. I love how easy this dessert is to make. It's also great when I don't want to use the oven because it's too hot or DH has the oven filled with other items:)  Enjoy!
