No-Bake Chocolate Éclair Cake

Healthy Fact of the Day

For a lighter version, use sugar-free pudding mix, low-fat milk, and light whipped topping to reduce calories and sugar. Swapping traditional graham crackers for whole wheat grahams adds a bit of fiber while keeping the same delicious layered texture.

    Ingredients

    • 2 packages instant vanilla pudding mix

    • 3 cups milk

    • 1 container whipped topping

    • 1 box graham crackers

    • 1 container chocolate frosting

    Directions

    • In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until the pudding thickens, which should take about 2 minutes.
    • Fold the whipped topping into the thickened pudding mixture gently until combined, ensuring a smooth and uniform mixture.
    • Arrange a single layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, covering the surface completely.
    • Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the layer of graham crackers, ensuring the entire layer is covered well.
    • Add a second layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding, followed by spreading the remaining pudding mixture on top.
    • Place a final layer of graham crackers over the pudding mixture, covering it completely and evenly to form the top crust.
    • Carefully spread the chocolate frosting over the top layer of graham crackers, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
    • Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the crackers to soften and flavors meld.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
