Chocolate Eclair Cake is a great way to go. It is best served the first or second day, after being refrigerated for a few hours. I sometimes like to freeze it for an hour before serving for an even firmer texture.I love it!

    YOu could probably easily cut it in half and just do in a prepared graham cracker crust. Great and simple recipe — thanks for sharing

    I make frosting from scratch because it tastes so much better and the best part is no preservatives and additives. It does take more work and more clean up but the end result is worth it.

    We LOVE this dessert. I’m a caterer and get requests for this all the time. We also love using the Chocolate Graham Crackers (in fact, it’s our family’s favorite). We even experimented with several different frostings and we always came back to Milk Chocolate!

      I made this to take to someones party and it was not able to be cut. I just scooped it into bowls like a bowl of pudding. I was so disappointed. It was like mush….

    This sounds soooooooo sinful!! Do I end with a layer of pudding or crackers before the icing???

    Best dessert ever. Been making this for years. I use a can of the dark frosting. Open and microwave for about 20 seconds, then spread over cake. People’s think you worked so hard on this. So easy and delicious.

    I made this recipe (exactly as directed) because it souded delish which it is. I put in fridge after making for 24 hours – I still was unable to slice it – the filling does not get firm enough – I know this because it’s the same filling I use when I make cream puffs. I put in freezer for 3 hours (or a little more) before serving. It was perfect for slicing..everyone loved it! I will make again and put in freezer to firm up – it’s the only way. Enjoy!!!!

    Definitely freeze a couple hours before serving! It was not as firm to allow for slicing if directions are followed. I thought about cutting back a bit on the milk so the pudding would be more firm. Will try that next time. Otherwise, yummy dessert and perfect for a BBQ. Very easy to make.

    We make this with cooked chocolate pudding and layer it and end with real whipped cream. Eclair Cake: we just use graham crackers and pudding layers and whip cream topping and drizzle with Hershey’s syrup. 🙂

    Has anyone tried to top with melted chocolate chips? I don’t want to use canned frosting, but not sure what else might work.
