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! No Bake Chocolate Eclair Cake on white plate.

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 chocolate 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!
