No bake Chocolate Eclair Cake

Step 4: Repeat the Layers

1. Place another layer of graham crackers over the cream.
2. Spread the remaining pudding mixture evenly on top.
3. Add a final layer of graham crackers, if desired, to create a structured cake ready for the chocolate topping.

Step 5: Prepare the Chocolate Topping

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Stir in the milk and cocoa powder until smooth.
3. Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes, but don’t let it harden completely.

Step 6: Add the Chocolate Topping

1. Pour the chocolate glaze over the top layer of graham crackers.
2. Use a spatula to gently spread it evenly, covering the entire surface.

Step 7: Chill

1. Cover the dish with plastic wrap.
2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the graham crackers to soften slightly and the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

1. Slice the cake into squares using a sharp knife.
2. Serve chilled and watch it disappear fast! Optional: garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings for extra flair.

Tips for Perfection

• Layering: Make sure your graham crackers are flat and aligned to avoid uneven layers.
• Chocolate Topping: If the chocolate mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk to achieve a pourable consistency.
• Storage: Keep the cake refrigerated for up to 3 days. It actually tastes better after a few hours as the layers fully set.
