Best Eclair Cake Recipe  

August 12, 2009 | By kapratt | No Comments »

Boy, if I had a dollar for every time my mother made an eclair cake when I was younger – I’d be rich! It seemed like she’d make one of these on a Sunday in a 13×9 glass pan and it would stay in the fridge all afternoon, and by nightfall there would be nothing but some pudding left on the bottom of the pan! It’s best though to make this and let it set a few hours so the graham crackers soften (tastes so much better that way!). I think this is a family classic, and once you make it you’ll probably get stuck making it for years!

Here’s your list of Ingredients for Eclair Cake:

  • 18 to 20 graham cracker squares or chocolate graham cracker squares
  • 3 cups milk
  • 4 packages vanilla or chocolate flavored instant pudding
  • 1 container frozen whipped dessert topping, thawed
  • 1 contained prepared chocolate frosting

This is all you have to do to prepare and make it:

1. Cover bottom of 13×9x2 inch baking pan with single layer of graham crackers; set aside.

2. In large mixing bowl, combine milk and pudding mix. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and thick. Fold in dessert topping until throughly combined. Spread evenly over crackers. Cover pudding with another layer of crackers.

3. Remove foil seal from frosting and microwave for 45 seconds. Stir frosting then pour over crackers and spread evenly. Cover and chil at least 3 hours or overnight.

Serves about 20 (so it says) – in our house it’s more like 6-8! I guess that depends on how big you cut the pieces.
