No bake Chocolate Eclair Cake 😋😋
Ingredients
2 (3.5 oz) package of instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (8 oz) container of whipped topping (COOL WHIP) thawed
3 cups milk
2 sleeves graham cracker squares
1 (16 oz) tub chocolate frosting
Directions
In a medium bowl, mix together the pudding mix, milk and Cool Whip.
In an 9 x 13 baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham cracker squares on the bottom. You may have to break them up a bit to get enough crackers to cover the bottom of your dish.
Spread half of the pudding mixture on top of the crackers.
Layer another layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture.
Then layer the other half of the pudding mixture on top of crackers.
Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
Put plastic wrap over dish and put in fridge for about 30 min to an hour to allow pudding to set.
When ready, put the tub of chocolate frosting in the microwave for about 15 seconds to soften (remove lid and aluminum foil top before microwaving).
Take out and stir frosting. It should be easily spreadable now.
Remove plastic wrap from dish and evenly spread chocolate frosting all over the top layer of graham crackers.
Place plastic wrap over top of dish and put back in fridge and let it chill overnight.
This dessert gets better over time. The graham crackers need plenty of time to soften up.
When ready, slice and serve!

For those who love Reuben sandwiches. Reuben in a skillet! Cornbeef, sauerkraut with swiss cheese. Plus thousand island dressing to top it off! 1 net carb!!!
Update:
1. Thanks for all the likes and comments, I hope you will like this dish as much as I did!
2. Recipe for those who can't scroll through the comments.
Cook corned beef brisket in the crockpot for 8hrs on low. I mixed some brown mustard, Worcestershire sauce and the seasoning packet that comes with the beef and spread it on top. In a skillet melt some butter and fry up a jar of sauerkraut, add cooked corned beef with some juices from the crockpot and mix it together. Place swiss cheese on top to melt. That is it! So easy!
3. I made my own thousand island dressing by mixing mayo, brown mustard, diced pickle, pickle juice, garlic powder and paprika.
