- 3 cups of milk
- 1 box of graham crackers
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping (coolwhip)

Banana Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon banana extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the Vanilla Instant pudding mix and cold milk.
- Whisk until the pudding starts to thicken!
- Fold in the thawed whipped topping.
- In a 9 X 13 dish, spoon out 2-3 spoon fulls of pudding mixture into the bottom of the dish.
- Lay out a row of graham crackers.
- Slice 1 banana and add slices on top of graham crackers. Slice 4 strawberries and add them to the banana layer and sprinkle on 1/4 cup drained crushed pineapple.
- Cover the graham crackers and fruit with half of the pudding.
- Lay down another layer of graham crackers.
- Slice 1 banana and add slices on top of graham crackers. Slice 4 strawberries and add them to the banana layer and sprinkle on 1/4 cup drained crushed pineapple.
- Cover with pudding. Finish with a graham cracker layer.
- Heat the chocolate frosting so that it easy to pour but not completely liquid. (I normally stick my cans of frosting into the microwave for about 20 seconds.)
- Spread the chocolate frosting over the top layer of graham crackers.
- Refrigerate for 6-8 hours (or overnight) *Long enough for the graham crackers to become soft*
For the banana whipped cream:
- When ready to decorate, add heavy whipping cream, powered sugar and banana extract to a bowl of a stand mixer or use an electric mixer.
- Whip on medium - medium high speed until stiff peaks form.
To decorate:
- Fill a pipping bag with the banana whipped cream.
- Pipe 16 swirls on top of the eclair. 4 across etc.
- Top swirls with banana slices, strawberry slices, drained crushed pineapple and cherries.
