Description
A delightful no-bake Strawberry Eclair Cake that combines layers of graham crackers, cheesecake pudding, and fresh strawberries, all topped with a smooth strawberry frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3.4 ounces cheesecake flavored instant pudding mix
- 1½ cups whole milk
- 8 ounces thawed whipped topping
- 14.4 ounces graham crackers
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (washed, hulled, and sliced)
- 16 ounces store-bought strawberry frosting
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cheesecake-flavored pudding mix and milk until it thickens, usually within a couple of minutes. Set aside.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping.
- In a 9×13-inch baking dish, lay a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom.
- Pour half the pudding mixture over the graham crackers, spreading it evenly.
- Add a layer of sliced fresh strawberries on top of the pudding mixture.
- Add another layer of graham crackers over the strawberries.
- Pour the remaining pudding mixture over this second layer of graham crackers.
- Add another layer of sliced strawberries.
- Add one more layer of graham crackers on top.
- Heat the canned strawberry frosting in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it pourable.
- Pour the warm strawberry frosting over the top of the cake, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap or heavy-duty aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
- When ready to serve, carefully use a sharp knife to slice 12 pieces of cake. Garnish with a few extra fresh strawberries if you prefer.
Notes
- For best results, allow the cake to set overnight for optimal flavor and texture.
- Ensure to remove all metal seals from frosting before heating.
- May substitute other fruits for a twist on flavor.
