No-Bake Chocolate Eclair Cake


  • Total Time: 360 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

A delightful no-bake dessert that replicates the flavors of chocolate eclairs with layers of graham crackers, creamy pudding, and rich chocolate frosting.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14.4 oz box of graham crackers
  • 2 (3.4 oz) packages of instant vanilla pudding
  • 3 cups of milk
  • 1 (8 oz) tub of whipped topping
  • 1 (16 oz) can of chocolate frosting

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding and the milk until well combined. Let it sit for about 3 to 5 minutes until it firms up.
  2. Gently fold in the whipped topping until everything is well combined.
  3. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 inch glass pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. Place a layer of whole graham crackers on the bottom of the pan, breaking them as necessary to cover the entire base.
  5. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
  6. Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture.
  7. Spread the remaining pudding mixture over this layer of graham crackers.
  8. Top with one final layer of graham crackers.
  9. To make the chocolate frosting easier to spread, remove the lid and foil liner, and microwave it for about 10-12 seconds. Stir well.
  10. Evenly spread the chocolate frosting across the top layer of graham crackers.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, allowing the graham crackers to soften and absorb the flavors.
  12. Once chilled, slice into 12 pieces and serve cold. Enjoy!

Notes

For a richer experience, chill overnight. Garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings, and pair with fresh fruit or ice cream.
