Ingredients
  

Ingredients For The Crust

  • 1 Cup Water
  • ½ Cup Butter Melted
  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 4 Eggs Large

Eclair Cake Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese Softened
  • 2 Small Boxes Vanilla Instant Pudding
  • 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 Cup Coffeemate Creamer Liquid

Topping

  • 8 oz Cool Whip
  • ¼ Cup Chocolate Drizzle

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Set the Cool Whip out to thaw. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter in water and bring it to a boil.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the flour. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  • Blend well and spread the dough evenly into the prepared dish, covering the bottom and sides.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely. The crust will puff up but will settle as it cools.
  • For the filling, beat the cream cheese in a stand mixer. Separately, whisk the pudding mix with heavy cream for 2-3 minutes, then refrigerate until thick.
  • When pudding is set (thick) slowly add it to the mixing bowl, and mix it with the cream cheese and coffee creamer until smooth and creamy.
  • Chill the filling completely. Once the crust is cool, spread the filling over it.
  • Spread Cool Whip evenly over the filling.
  • Drizzle with chocolate syrup and refrigerate until fully chilled. Slice, serve, and enjoy your creamy vanilla eclair cake!

Notes

Don't Overbake the Crust: Keep a close eye on the crust; overbaking can make it too tough.
Cool Completely: Ensure both the crust and filling are fully cooled to achieve the best texture for your creamy vanilla eclair cake.
Chill Between Steps: Refrigerating the filling after mixing helps it set properly before assembling the cake.
