Why I love this Pumpkin Chocolate Eclair Cake recipe

• No baking required
• Feeds a crowd
• Pumpkin and chocolate is a great combo
• Just 7 ingredients!

I wasn’t sure if pumpkin and chocolate would go together but I like pumpkin chocolate chip bread so figured I would give this a try and it is pretty tasty. Regular eclair cake has been one of our favorites and honestly probably one of the easiest to put together. I like to make different flavors for different times of the year like Lemon Eclair Cake for spring and Strawberries N Cream Eclair Cake for the Summer.

Mike said, “Why do you have to put pumpkin in it?” He wasn’t going to have any…then had a bite of mine and now two days later the 9×13 pan is almost gone lol.

So this Pumpkin Eclair Cake is honestly a 1 bowl, no pot, no pan, and no baking dessert. You can complicate it by making your own whipped cream or homemade icing….but if you want something easy and fast follow the steps below.
