Description

This No-Bake Lemon Eclair Cake is a creamy, zesty dessert layered with lemon pudding, whipped topping, and graham crackers, then topped with a lemon frosting glaze. It’s a refreshing and easy-to-make dessert perfect for warm days or special gatherings.

 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box graham crackers (14.4 oz)
  • 2 boxes instant lemon pudding mix (3.4 oz each)
  • 3 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1 container whipped topping (Cool Whip) (8 oz), thawed
  • 1 can lemon frosting (16 oz)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Lightly spray a 9×13-inch pan with non-stick spray. Layer graham crackers to cover the bottom.
  2. Mix Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk the instant lemon pudding mix with milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until smooth.
  4. Layer Cake: Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers in the pan. Add another layer of graham crackers, then spread the remaining pudding mixture on top. Add a final layer of graham crackers.
  5. Add Frosting: Microwave the lemon frosting (30-40 seconds) to make it pourable, then spread it evenly over the top graham cracker layer.
  6. Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8-12 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld and the graham crackers soften.
  7. Serve: Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with lemon zest or fresh berries, if desired.

Notes

  • Substitutions: Vanilla or cream cheese frosting can be used instead of lemon frosting for a milder flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze before frosting for up to 1 month.
  • Make it Gluten-Free: Substitute with gluten-free graham crackers.
