Description
This no-bake chocolate eclair cake layers graham crackers, creamy vanilla pudding filling, and rich chocolate frosting into an easy make-ahead dessert that tastes like a classic chocolate eclair.
Ingredients
- 2 (3.5 oz) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, thawed
- 3 cups milk
- 2 sleeves graham cracker squares
- 1 (16 oz) tub chocolate frosting
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and whipped topping until thick and creamy.
2. Arrange a single layer of graham crackers on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
4. Add another layer of graham crackers, then spread the remaining pudding mixture over the top.
5. Place a final layer of graham crackers on top, then cover and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes to begin softening the layers.
6. Microwave the tub of chocolate frosting for about 15 seconds to soften, stir well, then spread it evenly over the top graham cracker layer.
7. Cover the dish again and refrigerate overnight until the layers have softened and the dessert has an eclair-like texture.
8. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
This dessert is best made ahead so the graham crackers have time to soften fully.
Microwaving the frosting briefly makes it much easier to spread evenly.
Perfect for potlucks, holidays, and easy make-ahead desserts.
