Easy Pumpkin Eclair Cake
Some days are great for baking, while others just aren’t. This quick and easy pumpkin eclair cake comes together with some 5 minute pumpkin pudding, a pack of graham crackers, and some whipped cream. If you aren’t ready to preheat that oven for a pumpkin pie, this will surely satisfy your craving. I loved the light and fluffy whipped cream on top and the slightly frozen center.
You can serve this eclair cake frozen or let it thaw out a bit. It’s easier to handle and slice when it’s frozen, but it had better mouth-feel when it was softer and thawed out a bit. I’d compromise and keep it cold until slicing it and waiting 10 minutes to serve after slicing it.
This dessert is easy to customize. Traditional eclairs would be made with a vanilla pudding, but making it with chocolate pudding with chocolate graham crackers would be awesome.
I’ve also heard wild rumors that there is pumpkin whipped cream on the market somewhere. I haven’t seen it yet, but I think that using it as the topping would be great.

Easy Pumpkin Eclair Cake
This Pumpkin Eclair Cake is a quick and easy pumpkin treat that you can enjoy even if the weather hasn't cooled down yet.
Ingredients
- 1 3 oz box Instant Pumpkin Pudding
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 packets graham crackers
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Cool Whip
- Optional – cinnamon chips for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding and set aside to firm up for 5 minutes.
- Line a loaf pan with plastic or parchment and layer graham crackers and pudding, alternating, until the pan is full. I made a single layer of each, but if your pan is wider you can widen your eclair.
- Freeze for 4 – 6 hours.
- Lift from the pan with the plastic liner and place it on a serving plate. Whip the heavy cream and mix with the cool whip. Cover the cake with the whipped cream and top with a dash of cinnamon and some cinnamon chips. Serve immediately.
