Microwave the chocolate frosting (uncovered) for about 20–30 seconds until it’s smooth and pourable.
Spread it evenly over the top graham cracker layer.
It’ll set into a glossy, rich “chocolate shell” once chilled.
Step 4: Chill
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight if possible.
This allows the crackers to soften and absorb the creamy layers, turning the dessert into a cake-like texture.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Slice into squares and serve cold. Each bite is a perfect mix of creamy vanilla, soft graham cracker, and rich chocolate — just like a bakery éclair, but even better.
Bonus Tip
Want to make your own chocolate topping?
Melt together 1 cup chocolate chips, 3 tablespoons butter, and 2 tablespoons milk, then pour over the cake — it’s rich and glossy!
