Description
No Bake Chocolate Eclair Cake is a layered dessert made with graham crackers, creamy vanilla pudding, whipped topping, and a rich chocolate frosting. It’s easy to assemble, requires no baking, and tastes just like a classic éclair in cake form.
Ingredients
- 1 box graham crackers
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 tub (16 oz) chocolate frosting or 1 cup chocolate ganache
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk until it begins to thicken.
- Gently fold in whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- In a 9×13-inch dish, layer graham crackers across the bottom, breaking them as needed to fit.
- Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
- Add another layer of graham crackers and spread the remaining pudding mixture on top.
- Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
- Warm the chocolate frosting slightly and spread evenly over the top graham cracker layer.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
Notes
- Switch pudding flavors for variety—try chocolate, cheesecake, or banana.
- Add a layer of sliced bananas or strawberries for a fruity twist.
- Use homemade ganache for a richer topping.
- Top with crushed nuts or sprinkles for a festive look.
- Use different cookies like digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers if desired.
