Pistachio Eclair Dessert

Yummmmmmmmmmm!!!!!! I knew we would like this dessert because our whole family loves pistachio everything! I did make a couple of minor changes that most certainly improved this recipe: 1) I always substitute real whipped cream for 'frozen whipped topping', and 2) I used chocolate ganach (equal parts melted chocolate and heavy cream mixed together and cooled) instead of 'canned chocolate frosting'. Additional comments - A) The recipe calls for a whole box of graham crackers, but it only took 2/3 of a box to fit my 9x13 pyrex dish. B) I served this dessert about 2 hours after I assembled it, which only allowed enough time for the for the graham crackers to partially soften. Leftovers the next day were much better once the graham crackers had time to completely soften. C) The pudding layers are pretty thick, next time I'm going to try using twice as many graham crackers to increase the layered look. This is a super yummy recipe if you like pistachio pudding!

delicous excellent flavor. every bite mm......

simple, but still a big hit with the in-laws. used lemon pudding instead (personal preference).

Wonderful recipe. I take this into offices that I cook for and they absolutely love it!!! Easy to make and you can freeze it and thaw out right before serving and it takes wonderful!!!

This dessert is a three-four as written but OFCOURSE it had potential so I took it to another level. I used two boxes of the pistachio pudding mix to enhance the flavor..one box barely tasted like pistachio. I also used half milk/half heavy cream when making the pudding. Such a richer flavor. I finely chopped some pistachios and added those into the pudding. I prefer homemade whipped cream opposed to cool whip so I did 2 cups heavy cream, 2/3 cup conf sugar and a squirt of vanilla and whipped that for 5 minutes and folded it into the pudding. People just LOVED it..but I do feel as did my happy eaters..that the chocolate topping wasn't necessary and kinda took away from the great flavors the pistachio and graham craker offered. Next time(yes there will be) I will just top with some fresh whipped cream. Do make a day ahead of time so the graham crackers get nice and soft.

Great recipe! I only gave it 4 stars as I love pistachio pudding but using one pkg of vanilla diluted the pistachio flavor. Next time I make the recipe I will only use pistachio pudding

This dessert is the best! Every time I make it, people always rave about it and ask for the recipie. It's good when you first make it, but gets even better after sitting overnight. Plus, it's super easy to make! I highly recommend it!

Extremely easy to prepare. The whole family just thought this was the greatest!

I was not very pleased with this at all! I don't know what I did different from everyone else but it certainly didn't set-up well enough to be served like the picture. We had to spoon it out so it was just a big glob on the plate. Tasted really good but certainly not eye appealing. Not a recipe I will try again for sure.

I'm sure this would have turned out better if I would've remembered to fold the cool whip into it. For some reason I forgot that step, and was wondering why there wasn't much filling to spread onto the graham crackers. So it ended up just being pudding between graham crackers, with frosting on the top, but it tastes ok. Next time I'll have to remember the cool whip! :o)
