This Chocolate Eclair Dessert is a no-bake classic that’s rich, creamy, and irresistibly easy to make. Layers of graham crackers are stacked with a smooth vanilla pudding and whipped topping mixture, then topped with a glossy layer of chocolate ganache or frosting. As it chills, the graham crackers soften into a cake-like texture, mimicking the flavor of a real chocolate eclair. Perfect for potlucks, holidays, or anytime you need a crowd-pleasing sweet treat ready with minimal effort and maximum indulgence.
