Make and Take

During Lent

we have services on Wednesday evenings

And before service

we have supper

Members bring the entree while others bring dessert

This week is was my turn to bring dessert

Rita's No Bake Eclair Cake

It was a busy week and I needed a quick but yet still yummy dessert

Rita's cake certainly filled the bill

Layers of creaminess and graham crackers topped with a chocolate frosting

It makes a 9 x 13 pan fun

And all I brought home was an empty pan!

RITA'S NO BAKE ECLAIR CAKE

16 ounces graham crakcers

2 small boxes instant vanilla pudding

3 1/2 c. milk

8 ounces Cool Whip

Chocolate Frosting:

3 T. cocoa

3 T. butter, softened

3 T. milk

1 1/2 c. powdered sugar

Mix pudding and milk in a bowl.    Blend together for about 2 minutes, then fold in the Cool Whip.   Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray.    Place a layer of whole graham crackers on the bottom, then top with 1/2 of the pudding mixture.     Cover the pudding with another layer of graham crackers, top with remaining pudding and another layer of graham crackers.     Chill overnight or for at least 8 hours.

Mix cocoa, butter and milk until smooth.    Add more powdered sugar if you like the frosting al title sticker.    If it's too thick, just add a little more milk.    Spread on top of cake.
