Delicious Chocolate Eclair Cake Recipe with 5 Ingredients

Ingredients

Servings:
20
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 box graham crackers (14 oz)
  • 1 cup chocolate frosting

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the pudding mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened.

    Make sure to whisk for 2 minutes for best results.
  2. Whip the cream

    In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

    Use chilled equipment for better whipping results.
  3. Combine mixtures

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until well combined.

    Fold carefully to maintain the light texture.
  4. Layer the cake

    In a 9x13 inch dish, layer graham crackers, followed by half of the pudding mixture, and then another layer of graham crackers.

    Ensure the crackers are evenly spaced.
  5. Add frosting

    Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top layer of graham crackers.

    You can microwave the frosting for a few seconds to make it easier to spread.
  6. Chill and serve

    Cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

    This allows the graham crackers to soften and meld the flavors.
