Éclair Cake

This no-bake Éclair Cake is a creamy, layered dessert made with graham crackers, vanilla pudding, whipped topping, and rich chocolate frosting. It chills into a soft, cake-like texture that tastes just like a classic chocolate éclair — without turning on the oven.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups milk
  • 8 oz frozen whipped topping thawed
  • 2 packages (3.5 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 16 oz graham cracker squares
  • 16 oz prepared chocolate frosting

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth and slightly thickened.
  • Fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully combined and creamy.
  • Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with a single layer of graham crackers.
  • Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
  • Add another layer of graham crackers, then spread the remaining pudding mixture on top.
  • Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to soften.
  • Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top layer before serving. Chill briefly again if needed, then slice and serve.

Notes

For easier spreading, warm the chocolate frosting slightly in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before spreading over the chilled cake.
