This easy to make No Bake S’mores Eclair Cake recipe has luscious layers of graham crackers, vanilla pudding and chocolate topped with toasted marshmallows.

S'mores Eclair Cake slice

Before I even knew what an eclair cake was, I was making my own kiddy version by sprinkling crushed graham crackers on pudding and topping it with whipped cream. There’s something about the combination of graham crackers and pudding that is perfect.

Another thing that’s perfect (and I LOVE using the word PERFECT because a copy editor told me to NEVER use that word, along with the word unique because NOTHING is perfect or unique…according to her and the other copy editors of the world) is that this dessert is no bake and it is prepared the day before so it’s ready to go when you need it!

How To Make S’mores Eclair Cake

Start by making the chocolate ganache. (You can make all of it in one bowl or use three separate bowls, one for each layer of the cake, with 1 cup of the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of the whipping cream in each bowl.) Bring heavy whipping cream to a boil and pour it over the mini kisses. Allow the chocolate to sit for three minutes, stir until smooth. Place the ganache in the fridge and allow it to cool and thicken, stirring occasionally.

Graham Crackers Layer

Next, cover the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan with graham crackers.

Marshmallow Pudding Layer

Beat together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Allow it to thicken for five minutes and then beat in the marshmallow cream and whipped cream. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers.

Hershey's Chocolate Ganache

Pour a third of the cooled chocolate ganache over the pudding layer and spread it out. Add another layer of graham crackers, pudding and ganache.

Mini Marshmallows Topping

Top with a final layer of graham crackers, more remaining ganache, and the mini marshmallows. Toast the mini marshmallows under the broiler or with a kitchen torch.
