Here’s a delightful recipe for a Strawberry Eclair Cake that is sweet, chilled, and irresistibly creamy!
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 box (14.4 oz) graham crackers
2 cups cold milk
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1 cup powdered sugar
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
For the Chocolate Topping:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions:
Prepare the Pudding Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until well combined. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and creamy.
Combine Mixtures:
Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Layer the Cake:
In a 9×13 inch baking dish, place a layer of graham crackers on the bottom.
Spread half of the cream mixture over the graham crackers.
Add a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the cream mixture.
Repeat the layers: another layer of graham crackers, the remaining cream mixture, and another layer of sliced strawberries.
Chill:
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
Prepare the Chocolate Topping:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Serve:
Once the cake is chilled, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top. You can also use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy, sweet layers of this delicious Strawberry Eclair Cake!
This dessert is perfect for gatherings and is sure to impress your guests with its delightful flavors and creamy texture!
