🍰 No-Bake Chocolate Éclair Cake
Ingredients
- 2 boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 box graham crackers
- 1 container chocolate frosting
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the pudding mixture
Whisk the pudding mix with the cold milk until thick.
Fold in the whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
2️⃣ Layer the graham crackers
Place a single layer of graham crackers on the bottom of a baking dish.
3️⃣ Add cream layer
Spread half of the pudding mixture over the crackers.
4️⃣ Repeat layers
Add another layer of graham crackers, then the remaining pudding mixture.
Top with one more layer of graham crackers.
5️⃣ Add chocolate topping
Warm the chocolate frosting slightly in the microwave (15–20 seconds) so it spreads easily.
Spread it over the top layer.
6️⃣ Chill
Refrigerate for at least 6–8 hours (overnight is best).
The graham crackers soften and taste like cake.
🍴 Serving Tip
Cut into squares and serve cold. The layers will look like cream-filled chocolate éclair pastry.
💡 Optional upgrades
- Add a layer of banana slices or strawberries.
- Use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla for a richer dessert.
