    Ladies and Gents, this is literally the best chocolate toffee eclair cake. It is a hybrid dessert (my favorite). An icebox cake with layers of graham crackers and toffee infused vanilla pudding and topped off with sweet chocolate frosting. This can be served after any special occasion and is super kid friendly! After the week I have had of being corona quarantined, I needed this deliciousness in my life!!!

    Other desserts that offer up some of the same deliciousness are my mini strawberry crunch bundt cakes and Easter S'mores cookies!

    Best chocolate toffee Eclair Cake?

    A chocolate eclair cake is a hybrid dessert. It traditionally has layers or graham crackers with pudding and a whipped cream filling. Then it is topped off with homemade chocolate icing. A no bake, easy dessert that is super kid friendly! You can't go wrong if you ask me!!!

    I have seen so many variations of this dessert online, but I used a recipe from my family's cookbook with an added twist of toffee bits infused in the pudding. 

    How to make the best Chocolate Toffee Eclair cake

    Step one

    In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together your Jello instant vanilla pudding and the 2% milk. Fold in cool whip and Heath toffee bits. Set aside. 

    Step two

    In the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish, layer graham crackers and alternating with vanilla toffee pudding. Do this until you have a total of 4 graham cracker layers. Set aside until you are ready to frost.

    Step three

    In a small saucepan combine the baking chocolate with the light corn syrup. Heat on medium heat until the chocolate is melted. Remove from the heat. 

    Add in the vanilla extract, butter, 2% milk and confectioner's sugar. Mix until combined. Frost the top layers of the graham crackers. 

    Step four

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. This is a MUST. Refrigerating the cake allows the graham cracker layers to soften, which gives this dessert its distinctive flavor and texture.

    tips for eclair cake

    • You will need at least 4 sleeves of graham crackers to get the four layers. 
    • Store the leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
    • You can prepare the eclair cake 2 days in advance as long as you cover and refrigerate it.
    • You can use store bought chocolate frosting as long as you heat it up for 30 seconds before frosting the cake

    Welcome

    About me Carrie Blaser

    Hi my name is Carrie. I am just a sassy girl from the midwest that has a sweet tooth for any type of dessert. I grew up in the kitchen and remember making my sister scrambled eggs at 8 years old. But I really fell in love with baking when I made my first Betty Crocker cake out of the box. I like to think that I have come a long way since then!
