🍮 Eclair Cake - VIRAL Tiktok Recipe 🍮

chocolate frosting

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate ganache

💰Cheaper: store-bought chocolate icing

Dark chocolate ganache offers a richer flavor while store-bought options save time.

whipped topping

🥗Healthier: homemade whipped cream

💰Cheaper: whipped cream from a can

Homemade whipped cream is fresher and can be less expensive.

vanilla pudding mix

🥗Healthier: homemade vanilla custard

💰Cheaper: instant pudding

Homemade custard is richer but requires more effort.

graham crackers

🥗Healthier: whole grain crackers

💰Cheaper: vanilla wafers

Whole grain crackers add fiber, while vanilla wafers are often cheaper.

Gather 10 to 12 egg yolks depending on the size.

Whisk in some milk, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt.

Cook the mixture over medium heat until it becomes thick.

Optional: Pass the custard through a strainer to ensure there are no lumps.

Cover the custard with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the custard to prevent skin from forming.

Cool the custard to room temperature before chilling it in the fridge until fully cool.

Whip some all-purpose cream and mix it with the cooled custard.

Alternate layers of graham crackers and pastry cream in a pan.

Use scissors to sculpt the graham crackers to fit the pan precisely.

After the final layer of graham crackers, make a chocolate ganache by heating all-purpose cream and pouring it into chocolate chips or chunks.

Gently stir until all the chocolate is fully melted.

Pour the ganache on top of the cake and spread it to make it look pretty.

Let the cake sit in the fridge to fully set.

Cut into desired sizes and serve cold.
