No-Bake Chocolate Eclair Cake is a wonderfully easy and indulgent dessert that layers creamy vanilla pudding and whipped topping between graham crackers, all topped with a rich chocolate glaze. It’s not heavy or overly sweet either. I think it’s a perfect dessert for any occasion, and if you’re not a fan of chocolate glaze, feel free to omit it or replace it with caramel.
It will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a light & creamy dessert that’s not overly sweet, you’ve come to the right place. When you make this no-bake treat with layers of graham crackers and a smooth vanilla filling, you get the perfect cake. The addition of chocolate glaze just sends it over the top. I’ve really been in the mood for something simple and delightful, and this dreamy cake reminds me of classic eclairs. Not a fan of chocolate? Don’t worry, it’s still delicious without it.
