Description

A simple and delightful no-bake chocolate eclair cake made with layers of graham crackers, vanilla pudding, and a rich chocolate topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
  • 1 package (16 oz) graham crackers
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the two packages of instant vanilla pudding mix with three cups of cold milk.
  2. Whisk the mixture together until it thickens, which should take about two minutes.
  3. Once the pudding has thickened, fold in the container of whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  4. Set the pudding mixture aside and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by arranging a layer of graham crackers on the bottom.
  5. You may need to break the crackers into smaller pieces to cover the entire bottom of the dish.
  6. Spread half of the prepared pudding mixture over the graham crackers in the dish, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
  7. Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding, pressing them down slightly.
  8. Spread the remaining half of the pudding mixture over this second layer of graham crackers, smoothing it evenly again.
  9. Top the pudding layer with another layer of graham crackers, covering the entire surface.
  10. For the chocolate topping, place one cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
  11. Add the quarter cup of butter and microwave the mixture on high for 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
  12. Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, stir in the two tablespoons of milk and the teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined.
  13. Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the top layer of graham crackers, spreading it out gently with a spatula to cover completely.
  14. Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or until it is fully set and chilled.
  15. Before serving, cut the cake into squares, making sure each piece has layers of graham crackers, pudding, and chocolate topping.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the cake to chill overnight.
