This easy No Bake Chocolate Eclair Cake is a dream dessert, layering crisp graham crackers, creamy vanilla pudding, fluffy whipped topping, and rich chocolate frosting. Perfect for potlucks or a sweet treat without turning on the oven!
Arrange a single layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Break crackers as needed to fill in gaps.
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, until thickened. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping.
Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the layer of graham crackers in the dish.
Place another layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture.
Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers.
Add a final layer of graham crackers on top of the remaining pudding.
Carefully spread the chocolate frosting over the top layer of graham crackers. For easier spreading, you can microwave the frosting for 15-30 seconds until slightly softened.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
For an extra touch, garnish with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup before serving. The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
