My favorite no bake eclair dessert with a patriotic twist! It’s always the first dessert to disappear at cookouts! Great for any patriotic holiday!
Happy 4th of July!! I hope you’re having a fantastic day with you family and friends! If you’re in the Military or have ever been in the Military, THANK YOU! I hope everyone else had taken some time today to thank our amazing military men and women!
This is going to be an incredibly short post today. I don’t have much to talk about, I know you’re probably out enjoying this day and we’re getting ready to head out!
I’ve always been fond of those pretty USA Flag cakes that pop up during holidays like Memorial Day, Veterans Day and the 4th of July!
However, since I’m not a huge fan of cake I’ve never seen the appeal in making one for us. UNTIL I thought about turning that USA Flag cake into a USA Flag Eclair!
It’s pretty much the same as my regular eclair dessert but I changed up the chocolate frosting for white and I switched sprinkles for strawberries and blueberries!
I’ll probably get on here tomorrow and update this with some photos from tonight’s 4th of July festivities but until then, HAVE A HAPPY 4th of JULY and stay safe!

- Serves: 15
Ingredients
- 2 boxes of graham crackers
- 3 small boxes of Vanilla Instant pudding
- 6 cups of milk
- 2 cans of white icing
- 12 large strawberries
- 24 blueberries
Instructions
- Slice the strawberries in half.
- In a large bowl, mix together the vanilla instant pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk until the pudding starts to thicken.
- In a 9 X 13 dish, lay out a row of graham crackers. Cover the graham crackers in a layer of pudding. Place another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding. Cover the graham crackers with the more pudding.
- Continue to layer the graham crackers and pudding until you reach the top of the dish. Finish with a graham cracker layer.
- Heat the white frosting so that it easy to pour but not completely liquid. (I normally stick my cans of frosting into the microwave for about 20 seconds.)
- Spread the white frosting over the top layer of graham crackers.
- On the top left corner, lay out 4 rows of six blueberries.
- Use the sliced strawberries to make stripes on the cake.
- Refrigerate for 6-8 hours (or overnight) *Long enough for the graham crackers to become soft*
