Eclair Cake Dessert
Why I Love This Recipe
From my mother's recipe collection. Not really a cake, this is a cool, creamy, layered dessert with a chocolate layer on top. This is a no-bake recipe, so it is a good one for the summer time. Best when made the day before you wish to serve it.

1 box of graham crackers (1 pound)
2 small boxes instant French vanilla pudding mix
