I love those no-bake eclair cakes (why in the world are they called eclair cakes? They don’t really look or taste like an eclair) because of their simplicity and deliciousness and I wanted something that was light and fresh for spring.
This cake was a winner with everyone who tried it.
It is the perfect light and refreshing dessert, perfect for spring or summer. I plan to make it for Easter this year, and can’t wait, because it feeds a crowd, and everyone loves it.
This is one my kids even love, and they are usually all about chocolate.
The best part is, you don’t have to turn on an oven or stove to make it. It’s all made with fresh and cold ingredients that require no baking.
how long do i need to mix the mixture?
The recipe explains to mix the pudding, cool whip and milk. You will just want to mix it until it is completely set up and has thickened. It will be pretty thick and creamy but will still have a soft texture to it.
We recommend mixing it for about 3-4 minutes. I just used a whisk to combine mine.
would cook and serve pudding work?
For this recipe, cook and serve pudding would not work. Instant pudding works best. You could pre-make the pudding, then add the whipped cream to it (not the milk).
But the mixture will not work with cook and serve pudding, milk, and whipped cream. The pudding needs to be instant pudding mix.
could i freeze this before serving?
For the best results, we recommend making this recipe, then serving it within a few hours of making. If you freeze then thaw it, the graham crackers will be extremely soft and mushy.
You can do it, but we don’t necessarily recommend it.
We recommend making it and serving it within 24 hours.
If you do freeze it, be sure to cover it with foil or a lid, to prevent freezer burn. We don’t recommend freezing it for more than 4-5 days.
