  • Total Time: 20 minutes + refrigeration time
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups milk
  • 8 ounce tub whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip)
  • 2 sleeves graham cracker squares
  • 16 ounce container chocolate frosting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and whipped topping. Stir until everything is well combined.
  2. Layer the Graham Crackers: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham cracker squares on the bottom. Break some crackers if needed to fully cover the base.
  3. Add the Pudding Mixture: Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
  4. Repeat the Layers: Add another layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture. Then, spread the remaining pudding mixture on top.
  5. Top with Final Layer of Grahams: Add one final layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding mixture.
  6. Refrigerate: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the pudding to set.
  7. Prepare the Frosting: Microwave the chocolate frosting for 15 seconds to soften it, then stir until smooth and spreadable.
  8. Frost the Cake: Remove the plastic wrap from the dish and evenly spread the chocolate frosting over the top layer of graham crackers.
  9. Chill Overnight: Cover the dish with plastic wrap again and refrigerate overnight to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
  10. Serve: When ready, slice and serve the delicious, chilled eclair cake!

Notes

  • The longer the cake sits in the fridge, the softer the graham crackers become, making it even more like a traditional eclair.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a layer of sliced bananas or strawberries between the pudding layers.
