Here’s a delicious, easy No-Bake Chocolate Éclair Cake — creamy, chocolatey, and perfect for a dessert that doesn’t need the oven.
🍫 No-Bake Chocolate Éclair Cake
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 8–10)
- 1 (8 oz / 225 g) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (14 oz / 400 g) package graham crackers or chocolate graham crackers
- 1 (21 oz / 595 g) package chocolate pudding mix (instant)
- 3 cups (720 ml) cold milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate glaze
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Pudding
- Whisk pudding mix with cold milk according to package instructions.
- Set aside to thicken.
2️⃣ Make the Cream Layer
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until smooth.
3️⃣ Layer the Cake
- In a 9×13-inch pan, layer graham crackers to cover the bottom.
- Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over crackers.
- Pour half of the chocolate pudding over the cream layer.
- Repeat layers: graham crackers, remaining cream, remaining pudding.
4️⃣ Chocolate Topping
- Melt chocolate chips or use a ready-made chocolate glaze.
- Spread over the top layer.
5️⃣ Chill
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the crackers soften and layers meld.
6️⃣ Serve
- Slice into squares and serve cold.
💡 Tips
- Use chocolate graham crackers for a richer flavor.
- Add a sprinkle of toffee bits or nuts for texture.
- For extra creaminess, fold in a little vanilla pudding into the whipped cream layer.
If you want, I can give you a lighter, lower-sugar version that still tastes like a decadent chocolate eclair.
