eclair cake recipe

Eclair cake is a sweet creamy rendition of an indulgent American treat transformed into a decadent icebox cake that comes together in 20 minutes flat!

Eclair Cake

graham crackers

(3.4-ounces) boxes instant vanilla pudding

whip (thawed)

milk

butter

vanilla extract

cocoa powder

sugar

Line the bottom of a 9 X 13-inch pan with a single layer of graham crackers, cutting them as need be to cover completely.

In a large mixing bowl, mix the pudding mix and milk with a handheld electric mixer on medium, for 2 minutes. Fold in the Cool Whip.

Spread half the pudding mix over the layer of graham crackers, taking care to level the top.

Place another layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture then spread the remaining pudding mixture over the top. Place a final layer of graham cracker on top, smooth side of the crackers facing up.

Meanwhile, make the glaze: &nbsp;In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt butter with milk (doesn't need to boil). Mix in vanilla, cocoa, then mix in powdered sugar until glaze is smooth. Evenly pour glaze over the top of graham cracker. Refrigerate overnight.

For those hectic times when you need to entertain, this chocolate eclair cake is such an easy recipe requiring very few ingredients.

cinnamon graham crackers

(3.4-ounce) boxes French Vanilla instant pudding (with ½ teaspoon removed from one of the bags)

Cool Whip

dark chocolate fudge frosting

Spray a 9x13x3-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray on the bottom and lightly on the sides. It’s very important to use a dish that is 3 inches deep because it creates space for the graham crackers to be snug up against all of the edges.

Mix pudding and milk using either a mixer with a whisk attachment or a mixing bowl and a whisk.

Fold in the Cool Whip until it is fully incorporated and there are no more white and yellow swirls. You want the mix to be fully yellow and uniform.

Layer graham crackers along the bottom of the pan covering the entire bottom to the edges.

Divide the pudding mixture in half.

Spread the first half of the pudding mixture on top of the first graham cracker layer ( an offset spatula is great for this) until fully covered. Do your best to get each layer as level as possible so your end product is evenly distributed.

Spread the second layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding layer to the edges.

Fully spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers.

Lay the third and final layer of graham crackers to the edges.

Microwave your tub of dark chocolate fudge frosting (DO NOT microwave the frosting in the tub, move to a microwave safe bowl) for 30 seconds, remove and stir fully.

Microwave for another 30 seconds, stir and remove any lumps. Immediately pour the frosting onto the final layer of graham crackers and spread gently to the edges. With two hands give your whole dish a gentle shake back and forth for a few seconds to level out your layers!

Cover in saran wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 10 hours or overnight.

When you’re ready to serve your cake, remove it from the fridge and let the cake thaw uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes for it to get that beautiful shine restored to the frosting topping.

This easy eclair cake recipe tastes just like an éclair, only it’s much easier to make. My favorite part is you don’t even have to use the oven. It’s a no bake eclair cake, so I just make the cake the day before, pull it out of the fridge, and it’s ready to serve.

Bring this to a party, baby shower or potluck and no one will know how little work it took to make.
