Oh yes 😋 — the No-Bake Chocolate Éclair Cake is a nostalgic, creamy, chocolatey dessert that’s super easy to assemble. Here’s a classic version:
🍫 No-Bake Chocolate Éclair Cake
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz / 225 g) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream or 1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (16 oz) package graham crackers
- 1 (4 oz) package chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk (for pudding)
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Pudding Layer
- In a medium saucepan, combine pudding mix and milk.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2️⃣ Make the Cream Layer
- Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold in whipped cream or Cool Whip.
3️⃣ Assemble the Cake
- In a 9×13 inch dish, layer graham crackers on the bottom.
- Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over crackers.
- Add a layer of pudding on top.
- Repeat layers: crackers → remaining cream mixture → remaining pudding.
4️⃣ Make the Chocolate Topping
- Melt chocolate chips and butter together until smooth.
- Pour over the top layer of pudding, spreading evenly.
5️⃣ Chill
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the graham crackers soften.
6️⃣ Serve
- Slice into squares and enjoy the creamy, chocolatey layers!
💡 Tips & Variations
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle crushed graham crackers or chopped nuts on top.
- Use chocolate sandwich cookies instead of graham crackers for a different twist.
- For faster prep, use instant pudding mix — it thickens in minutes.
If you want, I can also give a “2-ingredient shortcut version” that still tastes like classic chocolate eclairs but takes less than 10 minutes to assemble.
Do you want me to do that?
