Chocolate Eclair Dessert, a kid-friendly and easy no-bake dessert(Kate McWaters)

1 box graham crackers
2 packages instant vanilla pudding
3 cups low-fat milk
9 oz. cool whip

Mix pudding and milk. Let stand 5 minutes. Fold in Cool Whip.

Butter or spray 9x13 pan. Line the bottom with graham crackers. Pour 1/2 pudding mixture over crackers. Place 2nd layer of crackers and top with remaining pudding mixture. Place a final layer of crackers on the top.

2 oz. baker's chocolate, melted (Nestle Chocobake unsweetened worked great)

Chocolate Mocha and Berry Trifle - (Kate McWaters)
 
8 oz. light cream cheese
2/3 cup heavy cream
4 eggs, separated
8 oz. mascarpone cheese
8 oz. white chocolate chips, softened in microwave
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups strong black coffee (I used decaf)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup chocolate based liquer or Tia Maria (I used Frangelico b/c I love hazelnut!)
1 lb savoiardi (ladyfingers) biscuits
9 oz. fresh berries (raspberries and blueberries)
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
freshly whipped cream and extra cocoa for topping
 
Place cream cheese in a large mixing bowl; beat until smooth.
 
Add cream and yolks; beat a further 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Using a metal spoon, fold in mascarpone cheese and white chocolate.  Stir until just combined and mixture is smooth.  (Do no overbeat.)
 
Beat egg white is small mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.   Add sugar gradually, beating constantly after each addition, until mixture is thick and glossy and sugar is dissolved. Fold egg white mixture into cheese mixture, stirring until smooth.  Combine coffee, sugar, liqueur in medium bowl.  Quickly dip 1/3 of the ladyfingers into coffee mixture.
 
Arrange biscuits in base of 8-cup serving bowl.  Sprinkle with 1 T. cocoa and 1/3 of the berries.  Spread with 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layering twice more with dipped biscuits, cocoa, berries and cheese mixture. Cover and refrigerate several hours or up to 2 days.  To serve, top with fresh whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa.
