This Chocolate Eclair Cake tastes like the best combination of Boston cream pie and a chocolate eclair. Bonus, this eclair dessert is no-bake, super easy to make, and only requires 5 simple ingredients!
And don’t miss our Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes – a classic combination in miniature form.
This chocolate eclair cake takes all the best parts of an eclair – aka the filling and chocolate ganache – and turns it into an easy-to-make no-bake dessert. The filling is made with Cool Whip and pudding, so it’s not exactly like your typical eclair filling, but it’s so good. I like to think of this eclair dessert as Boston cream pie meets chocolate eclair.
And you won’t believe how ridiculously easy it is to prepare – you need just 15 minutes and 5 ingredients! While this no bake eclair cake is quick and easy to prepare, it does need at least 6 hours to set up properly. I recommend making it the night before you plan to serve it.
I love to whip this one up for holidays, summer potlucks and gatherings, since it takes virtually no time but it looks and tastes like you labored over it forever. Everyone LOVES it.
