Description

Indulge in the creamy, dreamy goodness of this Chocolate Eclair Cake, a no-bake dessert that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Layers of graham crackers, vanilla pudding, and a decadent chocolate glaze come together for a delightful treat.


Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 box graham crackers (about 16–18 full sheets)

For the Chocolate Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup or butter (for shine and texture)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding Mixture: Whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until thick. Fold in the whipped topping until smooth.
  2. Layer the Cake: Arrange graham crackers in a 9×13-inch dish, alternating with the pudding mixture. Finish with a layer of graham crackers.
  3. Make the Chocolate Glaze: Heat cream, pour over chocolate chips, add corn syrup or butter, and stir until smooth. Spread over the cake.
  4. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Notes

  • This dessert tastes even better the next day.
  • You can use chocolate frosting instead of ganache for a quicker topping.
