Eclair Cake

The other night at Rosh Hashanah dinner, my honorary "big brother" made an amazing dessert - Eclair Cake. I LOVE eclairs so I was excited to taste it.

While I got this recipe from him, he originally got it from Paula Deen on the Food Network. And it is amazing!! By far my favorite dessert of the night! It's also incredibly easy to make - it's no bake.

Below is the recipe I got off the Food Network website.
