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
- 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. (Be sure to remove all of the metal seal before heating in the microwave.)
- 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. 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.
