No-Bake Chocolate Éclair Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide to Heavenly Dessert
If you’ve ever craved the luxurious flavors of a chocolate éclair but don’t want the hassle of baking choux pastry or making delicate custards, the No-Bake Chocolate Éclair Cake is your ultimate solution. This dessert captures the essence of a classic éclair — creamy, chocolatey, and delightfully soft — with minimal effort. Here’s how to make it, step by step.
Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need:
For the Cake Base:
- 1 package (about 14–16 oz) of graham crackers
For the Cream Filling:
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed (like Cool Whip)
For the Chocolate Topping:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Step 1: Prepare the Cream Filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, pour 2 cups of cold milk.
- Add the instant vanilla pudding mix and whisk for 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and creamy. This creates a light, airy filling that mimics the custard of a classic éclair.
Step 2: Layer the Graham Crackers
- In a 9×13-inch pan, lay down a single layer of graham crackers. Break them as needed to cover the bottom completely.
- Spread half of the cream filling evenly over the graham crackers, ensuring every corner is covered.
- Add a second layer of graham crackers on top of the cream.
- Spread the remaining cream filling over the second layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- If desired, add a third layer of graham crackers on top, but this is optional — some prefer leaving the creamy layer exposed for better chocolate topping coverage.
