🍓 Strawberry Éclair Cake

Ingredients:

For the cake:

• 1 box (14.4 oz) graham crackers (plain or honey)

• 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

• 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding

• 2 ½ cups cold milk

• 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip (or whipped topping)

For the topping:

• 1 cup strawberries, diced (optional, for garnish)

• 1 can (16 oz) strawberry frosting
  or use homemade strawberry glaze or whipped cream with mashed berries

Instructions:

1. Prepare filling:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until thickened. Fold in the Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.

2. Layer graham crackers:
   In a 9×13-inch dish, place a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom.

3. Layer filling and strawberries:
   Spread half of the pudding mixture over the crackers. Add a layer of sliced strawberries.

4. Repeat:
   Add another layer of graham crackers, then the remaining pudding mix and more sliced strawberries.

5. Top layer:
   Add a final layer of graham crackers. Gently spread the strawberry frosting over the top (soften it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it easier to spread).

6. Chill:
   Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) to allow the graham crackers to soften.

7. Serve:
   Garnish with extra diced strawberries if desired. Slice and enjoy!
