Eclair Cake

2 pkgs sugar free fat free Jello White chocolate instant pudding mix
3 cups Skim Milk
12 or 16 Oz. light Cool whip - (I use 16)
1 pkg (16 oz) low fat graham crackers - (Can use honey graham or chocolate)
1 can chocolate frosting mix

Mix jello pudding mix and skim milk in mixing bowl until pudding begins to thicken, then add Cool Whip and mix thoroughly.
Line bottom of 9x13 pan with graham crackers. Put layer of pudding mixture on top of crackers (Use about 1/3 of mixture). Alternate layers of cracker and pudding until ingredients are used ending with graham cracker on top.
Open icing and remove metal seal. Place in microwave and melt icing (about 1 minute). Stir with spoon and pour over layered cracker and pudding. Put in refrigerator several hours. I try to make the might before, but it will set up in about four hours.

If you don't like chocolate, recipe can be altered by changing pudding flavor and icing flavor to about any combination you want. Although I can't imagine not liking chocolate!
