No Bake Chocolate Eclair Cake

This easy Chocolate Eclair Cake is one of my favorite no bake desserts!  It’s easy to make and it’s a great recipe to let your kids help with!

I just love no bake cakes.  There is something about this classic, no-fuss dessert that makes me swoon.  Maybe it’s the creamy layers or maybe it’s the way the graham crackers magically turn into a soft, flaky layer.  Most likely, it’s both.   It’s just so good.

This recipe is so incredibly easy!  And, it’s a crowd-pleaser. It’s one of those recipes you’ll want to have in your recipe box for those times when you need to bring a dessert but don’t have time to bake. You basically just need to layer graham crackers and a vanilla pudding mixture, then top it all off with a rich chocolately layer.  Are you drooling yet?

I just love vanilla.  It’s my favorite ice cream flavor and my favorite and my favorite coffee cream flavor!  Some people may say that vanilla is boring.  But, I beg to differ!  It’s time to #TakeBackVanilla!

For this particular recipe I used a surprise ingredient — Coffee-mate liquid creamer.  Coffee-mate’s smooth, creamy taste has been perfected to bring out the flavor in your coffee.  I love how creamy it is.

I love using Coffee-mate in my coffee every morning so I decided to give it a try in a recipe.  BINGO!  It added a level of creaminess that I just couldn’t get from milk.  Substituting Coffee-mate liquid creamer in place of  a portion of the milk in a recipe has become one of my favorite little tricks!  I do it with pancakes, muffins and even sauces.  It gives the recipe a little something extra that you just can’t get from milk. There are so many recipes that you can use Coffee-mate in.  Visit Coffee-mate for more delicious recipes!
