Description

A no-bake Strawberry Eclair Cake, combining layers of graham crackers, creamy cheesecake-flavored pudding, fresh strawberries, and strawberry frosting.


Ingredients

  • 3.4 ounces cheesecake flavored instant pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 8 ounces thawed whipped topping
  • 14.4 oz graham crackers
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries (washed, hulled, and sliced)
  • 16 ounces store-bought strawberry frosting

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping.
  3. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, lay a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom.
  4. Pour half the pudding mixture over the graham crackers, spreading it evenly.
  5. Add a layer of sliced fresh strawberries on top of the pudding mixture.
  6. Add another layer of graham crackers over the strawberries.
  7. Pour the remaining pudding mixture over this second layer of graham crackers.
  8. Add another layer of sliced strawberries.
  9. Add one more layer of graham crackers on top.
  10. Heat the canned strawberry frosting in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it pourable. (Be sure to remove all of the metal seal before heating in the microwave.)
  11. Pour the warm strawberry frosting over the top of the cake, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
  12. 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.
  13. When ready to serve, carefully use a sharp knife to slice 12 pieces of cake. You can garnish it with a few extra fresh strawberries if you prefer.

Notes

  • For best results, refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld completely.
  • Canned strawberry frosting should be heated briefly but not overheated.
  • The cake can be garnished with extra strawberries for added visual appeal.
