CHOCOLATE ECLAIR TORTE (NOT THE GRAHAM CRACKER VERSION)
Unlike the eclair desserts made with graham crackers, this one has a baked crust that has a texture and taste like the real thing. It puffs up and gets all bubbly! The filling is custard-y, and the chocolate icing is sweet. In short - it really is like an eclair, only much easier to make. Even though the recipe has three parts, it really doesn't take too terribly long to make. This recipe has circulated within my family for at least 20 years, and it's still a big favorite. Reduced fat and sugar-free products can be used and it will still turn out great. In place of the unsweetened chocolate squares, you can use 6 tablespoons of unsweetened baking cocoa + 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook time does not include refrigeration time, so please allow for that.

Steps:
- Mix together vanilla pudding mix and milk.

- Line 9 x 13 pan with one layer of graham crackers.
- Put half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
- Place a second layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture.

- Cover with plastic wrap and let set a couple hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
- Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped before adding it to the cream. This will help it melt smoothly and evenly.
- Don't boil the cream. Bring it just to a simmer, then remove it from the heat.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding it to the whipped cream. This will prevent the whipped cream from curdling.
- Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to fill the éclairs. This will give them a professional look.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to fill the éclairs. Just be careful not to overfill them.
- Chill the éclairs for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them set and firm up.
