Description

Layers of silky vanilla pudding, whipped topping, graham crackers, and rich chocolate ganache come together in this magical No-Bake Eclair Cake. A sliceable version of the classic pastry—no oven needed!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packages graham crackers
  • 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 ½ cups cold milk
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Whisk pudding mix with cold milk until thickened. Fold in whipped topping until smooth.
  2. Layer graham crackers in a 9×13 pan. Spread half the pudding mixture on top.
  3. Add another graham cracker layer, then the remaining pudding, finishing with a final cracker layer.
  4. Melt chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan. Remove from heat, whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla.
  5. Spread chocolate topping over the final graham layer. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For best results, chill overnight. Use stabilized whipped cream if making homemade. Dip your knife in warm water for clean slices. Try fun variations with fruit or flavored pudding.
