No-Bake Strawberry Eclair Cake

Short Introduction
This strawberry eclair cake is a refreshing and simple dessert made with layers of graham crackers, creamy pudding filling, and fresh strawberries. With minimal preparation and no baking required, it’s perfect for summer gatherings, family dinners, or whenever you want a quick and impressive treat.

Ingredients

3.4 ounces cheesecake flavored instant pudding mix
1½ cups whole milk
8 ounces thawed whipped topping
14.4 ounces 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 the mixture thickens, which usually takes about two minutes. Set aside.

Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture until well combined and smooth.

In a 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers to completely cover the bottom of the dish.

Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.

Add a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the pudding mixture.

Place another layer of graham crackers over the strawberries.

Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the graham crackers.

Add another layer of sliced strawberries.

Place one final layer of graham crackers on top.

Microwave the canned strawberry frosting for about 10–15 seconds until it becomes pourable. Make sure the metal seal is completely removed before placing the container in the microwave.

Pour the warm strawberry frosting over the top layer of graham crackers and spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.

Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to blend together.

When ready to serve, slice the cake into 12 pieces using a sharp knife. Garnish with additional fresh strawberries if desired.
