No baking and no heating this delicious summer dessert idea. Plus my kids love it so I know it won’t go to waste. In the past, we have made chocolate Eclair cake, but this time we stepped it up by doubling the chocolate and creating this amazing
Double Chocolate Eclair Cake Recipe of all the chocolate lovers in the audience!!
Low Fat Double Chocolate Eclair Icebox Cake Recipe
For this ice box cake recipe you will need:
-
- Instant Chocolate Pudding
- 1 (8-ounce) tub frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping, thawed
- 1/4 cup fat-free milk
- 2 tablespoons stick margarine or butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
- 1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 8 oz Lite Cream Cheese
- Chocolate Graham Crackers
- Red white and blue sprinkles, Optional
CAN I MAKE ECLAIR CAKE AHEAD OF TIME
Another reason I love this cake recipe is that you have to make it either early in the day before serving, or ideally the night before. Any make ahead recipe sure is a big relief especially when entertaining.
To Make this No Bake Double Chocolate Eclair Cake Recipe simply layer the chocolate graham crackers at the bottom of your pan.
Make the pudding per the directions on the box. Add half of the Tub of whipped topping.
Layer half of the pudding mixture on the graham crackers and tops with another layer of graham crackers. Repeat.
HOW TO MAKE FROSTING FOR AN ECLAIR CAKE
Make a super easy chocolate topping using the unsweetened chocolate, butter and vanilla. I simply melted it all in the microwave for 1 minute then stirred.
Top the final layer of Graham Crackers with the chocolate mixture and sprinkle with your colored jimmies. Loosely cover and refrigerate overnight. Let the fridge do all the magic.
Cut the icebox cake with a sharp knife to serve. It can get a little messy but tastes so good.
