Description

Indulge in the decadent goodness of this Eclair Cake with a luscious layer of chocolate ganache. This no-bake dessert is a crowd-pleaser, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 2 (3.4-ounce) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 1/2 cups cold whole milk
  • 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 box graham crackers

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Fold in the whipped topping. Arrange a layer of graham crackers in a 9×13-inch dish, spread half of the pudding mixture, add another layer of crackers, and top with the remaining pudding mixture and a final layer of crackers.
  2. Make the Ganache: Heat the cream until simmering, pour over chocolate and butter, let sit, then whisk until smooth. Pour over the cake.
  3. Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least 6 hours or overnight to set. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • This cake improves with time as the graham crackers soften. Try variations with chocolate pudding or top with sliced strawberries for a fruity twist.
