Eclair Cake With Cherry Topping Recipes

ECLAIR CAKE

Steps:

• Stir pudding mix, whipped topping, and milk together in a medium bowl until well blended.
• Arrange a single layer of graham cracker squares in the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan. Evenly spread half of the pudding mixture over the crackers. Top with another layer of crackers and the remaining pudding mixture. Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
• Spread the frosting over the whole cake up to the edges of the pan. Cover, and chill at least 4 hours before serving.

NO BAKE ECLAIR CAKE

Steps:

• In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the pudding mixes and milk together. Blend for about 2 minutes. We used a hand mixer for this, but you could easily use a whisk. Just be sure it's combined well.
• Then fold in the Cool Whip to the pudding mixture and mix until well blended.
• Lightly spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with non stick cooking spray. Place a layer of whole graham crackers on the bottom of the pan. You may need to break some graham crackers apart to cover the entire bottom of the pan.
• Gently spread 1/2 of the pudding mixture over the top of the graham cracker layer. We suggest dropping it in spoonfuls all over the graham crackers and then spreading it around carefully.
• Then place another layer of graham crackers over the pudding layer. Piecing it together to cover all of the pudding.
• Then add the remaining pudding over the graham crackers following the directions from above by spreading it around gently.
• Top that pudding with a final layer of graham cracker sheets.
• Place in the fridge while you make the frosting.
• Combine the frosting ingredients until smooth and creamy. If you like your frosting thicker, then add a little more powdered sugar. If you like it thinner, then add a teaspoon or two of milk.
• Carefully spread the frosting over the top layer of graham crackers until completely covered.
• Cover and chill for about 4-6 hours or overnight. The graham crackers will soften up the longer it sets which gives it the soft eclair taste.
• This dessert gets better over time. Slice and serve cold.

ECLAIR CAKE WITH CHERRY TOPPING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, use blender on medium or "whip" to beat the heavy whipping cream as you add the vanilla extract and sugar. It will be ready when it is nice and tight (sticks to the blades). You now have your whipped cream.
• In another bowl blend the pudding mix and milk until it has a creamy consistancy (about 3-4 minutes) on a low to medium setting.
• Add the whipped cream and blend together on low (or just fold them together) until well mixed. Do not over-blend.
• Arrange a single layer of graham cracker squares in the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan or pyrex. Evenly spread half of the pudding mixture over the crackers. Top with another layer of crackers and the remaining pudding mixture. Top with a final layer of graham crackers. Then evenly spread the cherry pie filling on top.
• Refrigerate immediately and allow it to set for at least 4 hours. Enjoy!
