This cake uses graham-cracker cake layers to mimics the pate a choux from traditional eclairs, and replaces the pastry cream filling with instant vanilla pudding. It\u2019s not a chocolate eclair\u2014or even a cake, for that matter\u2014without chocolate frosting on top, so we keep things easy and use a store-bought chocolate frosting (but feel free to make yours from scratch).

Refrigerate the cake for up to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze eclair cake?<\/h3>\n<p>No, eclair cake does not freeze well. Pudding-like fillings tend to not thaw very well, and doing so will ruin the texture of the cake.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make eclair cake ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can make eclair cake ahead of time. I recommend only making it up to a day in advance, though, because the graham crackers will soften and take on a cakey texture the longer they sit. Some people prefer that, though!<\/p>\n<h2>Eclair Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2124805\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Eclair-Cake_FT25_52876_JR_0225_7.jpg\" alt=\"close up shot of Chocolate Eclair Cake;\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Josh Rink for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you use homemade whipped cream instead of whipped topping?<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, I don\u2019t recommend using homemade whipped cream in place of the whipped topping. Whipped toppings like Cool Whip have stabilizers that help the topping keep its shape. Homemade whipped cream is much more delicate and can easily fall.<\/p>\n<h3>Can this eclair cake be made gluten-free?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, this chocolate eclair cake recipe can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free graham crackers. I recommend double-checking all of the packaged ingredients to ensure that they\u2019re certified gluten-free and weren&#8217;t made in a facility that processes wheat and gluten.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you serve with eclair cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Eclair cake is perfect by itself, but feel free to serve it with fresh berries, ice cream or chocolate sauce. It\u2019s lovely with espresso-based drinks, coffee, or sweet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/after-dinner-drinks\/\"
