7. French Eclair Cake
I had my first “good” éclair when my parents took my sister and I on a European vacation. I’ll give you one guess where I got it. Yes! I got my éclair in France and right by the Eiffel Tower. I was very fortunate to have that experience. Let me tell you, the pastries there are SO much better than here – then again, most of America gets theirs already made from the local donut shop or from the store. When you bake them fresh in your home, in your own oven – it makes a HUGE difference.
I happened upon this éclair cake and I thought to myself, “I wonder if it’s remotely like a true French éclair.” Of course, I had to experiment and see! Either way I figured you can’t go wrong with that creamy filling and chocolate topping – am I right?

Quick Tip: To avoid waiting for it to be ready, you can soak the graham crackers in milk for just a minute to get them soft before adding.
