Strawberry Éclair Cake


Ingredients

  • 1 box (14 oz) graham crackers
  • 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until thickened.
  2. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
  3. In a 9×13 inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom.
  4. Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
  5. Layer half of the sliced strawberries over the pudding.
  6. Add another layer of graham crackers, then spread the remaining pudding mixture on top.
  7. Add the remaining sliced strawberries in an even layer.
  8. Finish with a final layer of graham crackers.
  9. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream and butter until hot (but not boiling). Pour over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Stir until smooth.
  10. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top graham cracker layer and spread evenly.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the graham crackers to soften.
  12. Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy!

If you’d like, I can also give you a version with a homemade custard or fresh whipped cream instead — just say so!
