Are you looking for something a little different for your holiday desserts?

We are too, so we’ve created a modern take on an old-time favorite: a lightened up eclair cake recipe! Our version is easy to make, contains no refined sugar, and can be easily adapted to fit your family’s needs.

If you love graham crackers and enjoy indulging in sweet treats every now and again, this lightened up eclair cake recipe is for you. It has layers of graham crackers, sugar free vanilla pudding, and sugar free chocolate glaze. Every bite is a creamy delight!

What ingredients do I need to make this Lightened Up Eclair Cake?

• Instant sugar free vanilla pudding mix – you’ll want to use two large boxes that are 1.5 oz. each. 
• Frozen light or fat free whipped topping– thawed
• Skim milk- I don’t recommend using unsweetened almond milk since the pudding will not set up with almond milk. You could use vanilla premier protein shake as a substitution for the skim milk.
• Low fat graham crackers- I use Honeymaid low fat Graham crackers

Frosting ingredients:

• Sugar free chocolate chips– I love to use ChocZero no sugar added milk chocolate chips. You can save 10% on your order using promo code: POUNDDROPPER. Click HERE to order. 
• Unsweetened almond milk or skim milk
• Vanilla extract
• Light butter– I like to use “Land O’ Lakes light butter”, “Smart Balance”, and/or “I can’t believe it’s not butter”. 

Is there a different frosting I could use without having to make it?

Yes! You could use 1 cup Pillsbury sugar free chocolate frosting instead. Just melt 1 cup of sugar free frosting in a microwavable bowl and spread evenly over the graham crackers.

How do I make this Lightened Up Eclair Cake?

In a medium bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and milk. Whisk until smooth. Fold in cool whip topping.

Spray the bottom of a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. 

Line the bottom with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking some if necessary to cover the entire pan. 

Pour half the pudding mixture over the crackers and spread evenly.

Top with another layer of crackers. 

Pour the remaining pudding mixture over the second layer of crackers

and top with a third layer of crackers.

In medium microwave safe bowl add chocolate chips, light butter, vanilla and skim or unsweetened almond milk. Microwave until chocolate has melted in 20-30 second intervals. Stirring between intervals.

Carefully spread the melted frosting over the top layer of graham crackers. 

Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Serve cold/chilled.

Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to a week. 

Enjoy!
