No bake Chocolate Eclair Cake

Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Layer

1. In another bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk.
2. For extra creaminess, fold in the whipped topping.
3. This rich chocolate mixture will become the decadent topping for your eclair cake.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

1. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange a layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom completely.
2. Spread half of the vanilla cream mixture over the graham crackers evenly.
3. Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the cream layer.
4. Spread the remaining vanilla cream over the second graham cracker layer.
5. Finish with a final layer of graham crackers.
6. Pour the chocolate pudding layer over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Optional: Sprinkle chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate on top for an extra touch of indulgence.

Step 4: Chill and Set

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. The graham crackers will soften as they absorb moisture from the cream, creating a texture reminiscent of an eclair.

Pro Tip: The longer it chills, the more the flavors meld together, resulting in a creamy, dessert-like consistency that slices beautifully.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Slice the cake into squares or rectangles. Serve chilled for the perfect creamy, chocolatey bite. The layers of graham crackers, vanilla cream, and chocolate pudding mimic the classic eclair, but with zero baking required.

Why This Recipe Works

• No baking required: Perfect for beginners or anyone short on time.
• Layered indulgence: The combination of vanilla cream and chocolate pudding mirrors a traditional eclair’s pastry and filling.
• Customizable: Add caramel, nuts, or fresh berries to elevate the dessert further.
