No-Bake Lemon Eclair Cake
Ingredients:
- 2 packs (3.4 oz each) instant lemon pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 box (14.4 oz) graham crackers
- 1 can (16 oz) lemon frosting
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant lemon pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, until it thickens. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until well combined.
- Assemble the Layers: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom. You may need to break some crackers to fit.
- Add Pudding Layer: Spread half of the lemon pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
- Second Layer: Add another layer of graham crackers over the pudding. Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of graham crackers.
- Top Layer: Add a final layer of graham crackers on top.
- Frosting: Remove the lid and foil from the can of lemon frosting. Microwave the frosting for about 15-20 seconds to make it easier to spread. Pour and spread the warmed frosting over the top layer of graham crackers.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Enjoy your refreshing and zesty No-Bake Lemon Eclair Cake!
