I make this recipe for lots of potlucks and it is always a HUGE HIT! I only use HALF the amount of cool whip though... my family prefers it that way. However, if you are looking for a simple but PERFECT dessert ... this is it!

This recipe calls for too much whipped cream (as others have stated). A much richer flavor comes from using 3 boxes of pudding mix. And, I can't encourage you enough to make your own frosting for this (I highly recommend "One Bowl Buttercream Frosting" from this site). For this photo I layered the ingredients in a square pan lined with plastic wrap (I sprayed the plastic lightly with cooking spray). I chilled it overnight and inverted it on a plate. I then frosted the top (with the above mentioned frosting!) and dusted the sides with cocoa and chocolate shavings.

The flavor was very rich. I used a hot fudge topping and for the frosting. Very sweet so make the servings small when serving. The graham crackers tasted great with the pudding.

You can uses all fat free/sugar free products and still tastes GREAT! I used a homemade frosting. I had all the ingedients and am not crazy about tub frosting. PERFECT! 15 servings =WW 4pts if you use all FF~SF ingredients. Frosting included. Layers should be grahams~1/2 of the pudding~grahams~rest of the pudding~top w/grahams. I flipped top layer over so a THIN layer of pudding would be on very top~you'll need to even out the pudding on top with a butter knife. Do this before frosting with chocolate. This helps to soften grahams. ENJOY. IT's GREAT! The frosting is not FF or SF~ mix: 3T melted butter with 1/4c Hershey's cocoa then add 1 1/2c powdered sugar 2t corn syrup 2t vanilla 2T milk mix. SPREAD on top. This is JUST like eclair frosting.

This was so good and very easy to make! I will definitely make this again soon. I used hot fudge on top instead of the frosting, and I thought it tasted fabulous.

Don't know what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. I am going to stick to the baked goods rather than the no-baked ones.

We love this cake! Few changes -we use french vanilla pudding, 8 oz cool whip, 3 cups of milk and u must refrigerate overnight! Not messy at all-serves beautifully. At St Patricks day we make it with 1 package of pistachio pudding and one french vanilla. Gives it a light pale green color, which would be good for Christmas or Easter! Our family eats the whole 9x13 pan (there is 10 adults!)

Very simple and easy to put together! We like this as a frozen dessert - I let freeze it and let it sit out for about 30 minutes before serving. I skip the chocolate frosting and drizzle a chocolate glaze on the top instead. I have also made this with chocolate graham crackers and chocolate pudding. Both are good and easy! It took me 10 minutes to put this dessert together!

Definitely not a pretty dessert and quite messy too, but still very yummy! I used both vanilla and chocolate pudding, fat free cool whip and low fat honey maid graham crackers. Turned out great and really turns out well making the day before. I also used Bay Chick's 'frosting' which I found a bit too sweet for this, but it did turn out looking like an eclair! The taste reminds me more of a boston cream type dessert, either way, doesn't matter as it went over well for our family dinner party of 15!

This is a great, easy and delicious dessert. I used one box of pitacio pudding and one french vanilla. Topped with spreadable frosing that I heated in the microwave and topped with chopped pistacios while still warm.

I'm giving this recipe a 5 star rating because it's quick and easy to prepare and everyone loved it. My personal preference is to NOT use artificial canned, boxed ingredients because it's not good for you. I almost cried when I saw that the frosting's first ingredient is high fructose corn syrup. eeek!! However, I needed to prepare something quick that would be sure to please and this did it. I think I will try the other recipe on this site because you make the frosting from scratch and that's much better. It's definitely a keeper for last minute dessert.

I have made this recipe several times. I just took it to the dessert bake-off at work--and I WON!!! I was actually somewhat embarrassed! There were so many complex desserts that were submitted that I am sure people spent HOURS making.....I spent 20 minutes! This is my husband's favorite dessert (he is the one who told me to make it for the bake-off). And he was disappointed when I came home with an empty pan.....in fact it went very quickly. My changes....I use 3 layers of graham crackers and make sure that the top layer is crackers, not cream. I also use only 8 oz of cool whip. I coat the entire top with melted canned chocolate frosting (after chilling the dessert in the fridge for an hour) --then I chill it for another hour and take it out and put a decorative swirl/design using vanilla frosting that has been melted in the micro and put into a baggie with the corner cut off. I wish I had taken a photo of the cake that won---it really was pretty with that white zig zag design I put on top!

This was very good and I would of rated it 5 stars-but I think some of the ingredient amounts were off. I used two packages of instant vanilla pudding (they are 1.5 ounce boxes)each called for 2 cups of milk so I figured this was the correct amount, I also used an 8 ounce container of whipped topping. This was the perfect amount, using 16 ounces would of taken away from the vanilla flavor and been to whipped cream tasting for me. The end result was GREAT. Then my husband covered it with saran wrap and put it in the fridge. Well the next day, removing the saran wrap removed the majority of the frosting! The leftovers were sloppy and chocolate-less. I would suggest to put some toothpicks in it and "tent" a piece of foil over it for storage.

Nice and light dessert . Although I used the ingredients for this recipe I did make modifications for prep, serving size and refrigeration time. I halved recipe, used a standard sized loaf pan. Using kitchen shears, I did cut some of the graham crackers to fit the pan. I dipped the graham crackers into milk before placing in the pan to soften up slightly. I did not put the chocolate on the dessert until after it set up. Instead of refrigerating for 4-24 hours, I froze for 2 hours. Drizzled chocolate sauce upon serving. I used french vanilla pudding, next time I will use cheesecake flavor. I think I will also add a cooled layer of chocolate upon the second graham cracker layer, then refrigerate until firm, then add the next layer of pudding and top layer of graham cracker.
