Ingredients List:

  • 2 small boxes of vanilla instant pudding (3.4 ounces each)
  • 3 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip (thawed)
  • 21 whole graham crackers
  • 16 ounces dark chocolate frosting

How to Make Chocolate Eclair Cake:

1. Prepare the Pudding Mixture:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding and milk until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until well combined.

2. Layering the Base:

  • Line the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with 7 whole graham crackers.
  • Evenly pour and spread half of the prepared pudding mixture over the graham crackers.

3. Second Layer:

  • Place another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding layer.
  • Pour and spread the remaining pudding mixture over these graham crackers.

4. Final Graham Layer:

  • Add one last layer of graham crackers on top.

5. Preparing the Frosting:

  • Remove the foil cover from the chocolate frosting container.
  • Heat the frosting in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir with a knife. The goal is to soften the frosting for easy spreading, not to melt it completely.

6. Frosting the Cake:

  • Carefully spread the softened chocolate frosting over the top layer of graham crackers, ensuring an even coverage.

7. Refrigeration:

  • Place the cake in the refrigerator and let it set for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the cake to achieve the perfect consistency.
