Description

No-Bake Cherry Eclair Dessert is a creamy, indulgent treat with layers of vanilla pudding, graham crackers, and a sweet cherry topping. This easy, no-bake dessert is perfect for any occasion and requires minimal effort with maximum flavor.


Ingredients

  1. 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  2. 3 cups milk
  3. 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  4. 1 box graham crackers
  5. 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Instructions

Prepare the Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let it sit for a few minutes to fully set.

  1. Mix in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until smooth and well combined.
  2. Assemble the Dessert: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, layer the graham crackers at the bottom of the dish to form a solid base.
  3. Add the Pudding Layer: Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers, smoothing it out into an even layer.
  4. Add Another Layer of Graham Crackers: Place another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding layer.
  5. Top with Remaining Pudding: Spread the remaining pudding mixture evenly over the second layer of graham crackers.
  6. Add the Cherry Topping: Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the pudding layer.
  7. Chill the Dessert: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, slice and serve. Enjoy the creamy, fruity layers of this easy no-bake treat!

Notes

  1. For a nutty crunch, you can add a layer of chopped nuts between the graham crackers and pudding.
  2. Top with fresh berries instead of pie filling for a lighter option.
  3. If using graham cracker crumbs, pack them tightly to create a solid base.
