Description
A creamy no-bake Chocolate Éclair Dessert layered with graham crackers, vanilla pudding, whipped topping, and rich chocolate frosting. As it chills, the layers soften into a cake-like texture that tastes just like a classic chocolate éclair pastry.
Ingredients
- 2 packages graham crackers
- 3 cups cold milk
- 2 packages (3 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 package (16 ounces) prepared chocolate frosting
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Arrange a single layer of graham crackers on the bottom of the dish.
- Whisk cold milk and pudding mix for about 2 minutes until thickened.
- Fold whipped topping into pudding until smooth and combined.
- Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.
- Add another layer of graham crackers, then remaining pudding mixture.
- Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
- Warm chocolate frosting slightly and spread evenly over the top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- Chilling overnight gives the best texture as crackers soften.
- Use chocolate or vanilla pudding for flavor variation.
- Homemade whipped cream can replace whipped topping.
- Do not skip chilling time or layers will not set properly.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
