🍰 No-Bake Éclair Cake
A No-Bake Éclair Cake is a simple dessert that tastes like a classic Chocolate Éclair, but it’s made in layers and doesn’t require an oven. It uses graham crackers, creamy pudding, and chocolate frosting.
đź§ľ Ingredients
- 2 boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 container whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

- In a bowl, whisk the pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until thick.
- Add whipped topping
- Fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Layer the cake
- In a 9Ă—13-inch dish:
- Place a layer of graham crackers on the bottom.
- Spread half of the pudding mixture over the crackers.
- Add another layer of graham crackers.
- Spread the remaining pudding mixture.
- Finish with a final layer of graham crackers.
- In a 9Ă—13-inch dish:
- Add chocolate topping
- Microwave the chocolate frosting for about 15–20 seconds to soften.
- Spread it evenly over the top layer.
- Chill
