eclair cake

Cream-filled layered dessert

Eclair cake is a layered no-bake dessert that mimics the flavors of a chocolate eclair.

Graham crackers form the layers, sandwiched with vanilla pudding or custard, topped with chocolate frosting.

The crackers soften as it chills, creating a cake-like texture: She brought an eclair cake to the potluck.
