NO BAKE ECLAIR CAKE



No Bake Eclair Cake image

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (3.4 ounce) boxes french vanilla instant pudding
3 1/2 cups milk
1 (8 ounce) package Cool whip
1 (16 ounce) package graham crackers
3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1 1/2-2 cups powdered sugar
4 Tablespoons butter (room temp)
3 Tablespoons milk (warmed)

Steps:

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the pudding mixes and milk together. Blend for about 2 minutes. We used a hand mixer for this, but you could easily use a whisk. Just be sure it's combined well.
  • Then fold in the Cool Whip to the pudding mixture and mix until well blended.
  • Lightly spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with non stick cooking spray. Place a layer of whole graham crackers on the bottom of the pan. You may need to break some graham crackers apart to cover the entire bottom of the pan.
  • Gently spread 1/2 of the pudding mixture over the top of the graham cracker layer. We suggest dropping it in spoonfuls all over the graham crackers and then spreading it around carefully.
  • Then place another layer of graham crackers over the pudding layer. Piecing it together to cover all of the pudding.
  • Then add the remaining pudding over the graham crackers following the directions from above by spreading it around gently.
  • Top that pudding with a final layer of graham cracker sheets.
  • Place in the fridge while you make the frosting.
  • Combine the frosting ingredients until smooth and creamy. If you like your frosting thicker, then add a little more powdered sugar. If you like it thinner, then add a teaspoon or two of milk.
  • Carefully spread the frosting over the top layer of graham crackers until completely covered.
  • Cover and chill for about 4-6 hours or overnight. The graham crackers will soften up the longer it sets which gives it the soft eclair taste.
  • This dessert gets better over time. Slice and serve cold.
