Step 3: Layer the Graham Crackers
- In a 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers on the bottom. Break pieces if necessary to fill gaps.
- Spread half of the pudding-cream mixture over the crackers, smoothing it evenly.
Step 4: Repeat the Layers
- Place another layer of graham crackers on top of the cream.
- Spread the remaining pudding-cream mixture evenly over the second layer of crackers.
- Optionally, finish with a final layer of graham crackers to make it extra structured.
Tip: Press gently on the layers to help the dessert set evenly.
Step 5: Make the Chocolate Topping
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips with butter and milk. Stir constantly until smooth and glossy.
- Allow the chocolate to cool slightly, then pour it evenly over the top of the cake.
- Smooth it with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 6: Chill and Serve
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Tip: Refrigeration allows the graham crackers to soften, giving the cake a texture similar to a real eclair.
