 This No-Bake Chocolate Eclair Cake is a breeze to make and absolutely delicious. No stovetop or oven required! The only challenge? Waiting for it to set. Perfect for feeding a crowd, this dessert is sure to impress.

Ingredients:

  • 2 (3.5 oz) packages of instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 (8 oz) container of whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 sleeves graham cracker squares
  • 1 (16 oz) tub of chocolate frosting

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and Cool Whip. Stir until smooth.

  2. Assemble the Layers:

    • In a 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham cracker squares to cover the bottom. You may need to break a few crackers to fill in the gaps.
    • Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
    • Layer another set of graham crackers on top of the pudding.
    • Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers.
    • Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
  3. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour, allowing the pudding to set.

  4. Prepare the Frosting: Microwave the chocolate frosting for about 15 seconds to soften it (remove the lid and aluminum foil top before microwaving). Stir the frosting until it becomes smooth and spreadable.

  5. Top with Frosting: Remove the plastic wrap from the dish and evenly spread the chocolate frosting over the top layer of graham crackers.

  6. Chill Overnight: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. This allows the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld together.

  7. Serve: Once chilled, slice and serve this delightful, easy dessert!
