- Hey, friends.
0:01
Y'all come on in the kitchen
0:02
because I am fixing to share a recipe
0:05
with y'all that I have had for years, and years,
0:07
and years, and years.
0:09
I can't remember exactly how long it goes back.
0:12
But that's the Eclair Cake.
0:15
And if you like chocolate eclairs,
0:18
I think you're gonna love this one.
0:21
And earlier today,
0:24
I made another video
0:28
of one of the most incredible recipes
0:30
you will ever put in your mouth.
0:33
And that's Paula Dean's Family Kitchen's
0:36
Ooey Gooey Butter Pancake.
0:42
It's just heavenly.
0:43
Did I call it by its right name?
0:46
Ooey gooey,
0:49
- Butter. - Ooey Gooey
0:50
Butter, Gooey. (chuckles)
0:52
Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Pancakes.
0:55
That's right.
0:56
So if you wanna look it up,
0:57
you can look that up because it was incredible.
1:01
Just please y'all look for that video
1:04
and let me know what you think
1:05
'cause it's really delicious,
1:08
as well as this Eclair Cake
1:10
that I'm fixing to make is very delicious.
1:13
So I'm gonna start and you know
1:15
you can always go to the link
1:17
on any of these videos
1:19
to get the correct measurements
1:23
'cause I know it's hard to absorb
1:27
everything and every ingredient.
1:30
All right, so I've got 3 1/2 cups of milk.
1:33
I've got two 3 1/2 ounce package
1:37
of instant vanilla pudding mix.
1:41
So I'm just gonna mix that.
1:43
And it doesn't take that long to get thick, y'all.
1:45
So, easy-peasy.
1:49
(mixer rattling)
2:01
Now after this gets thick,
2:03
we've got one more step for this,
2:06
and it calls for a eight ounce container
2:09
of a frozen whipped topping.
2:13
And y'all know, I just,
2:17
I just too much don't use that sorta thing.
2:20
I always whip my own whipping cream.
2:23
I love fresh whipped cream.
2:25
So that's what I've got.
2:27
But if you like the taste of the frozen toppings,
2:30
by all means use it
2:33
because it does make it a little bit easier.
2:36
(mixer rattling)
2:40
I'm gonna turn this up a little bit.
2:42
(mixer whirring)
2:44
And it's starting to thicken.
2:45
(mixer whirring)
2:54
I don't know if y'all can see,
2:55
but it's gettin' really thick.
2:58
(Paula laughing)
2:59
I'm gettin' it all over me.
3:04
I'm gonna be very, very sweet
3:08
when I get through with this (chuckles) video.
3:11
All right, we're gonna move down here.
3:13
And I have my buttered 13x9x2 pan
3:16
and I'm gonna layer it with graham crackers.
3:20
(crackers rattling)
3:24
And this is gonna make our Eclair Cake,
3:29
this part right here.
3:31
(crackers crunching) (crackers rattling)
3:37
And we're actually gonna wind up with two layers
3:44
of graham crackers.
3:51
Okay, so,
3:56
now I'm gonna take our whipped cream,
4:00
or our frozen whipped topping,
4:04
dessert topping, whichever you wanna use.
4:07
And I think that's thick enough.
4:12
Let me see, I'll have to refer back to the recipe.
4:14
It's been so, so long
4:17
since I made it.
4:19
Oh gosh, I bet it's been six or seven years
4:21
since I made this.
4:24
Okay, so we're just gonna fold
4:29
our pudding into our whipped cream.
4:39
Is this yours, Theresa?
4:40
I don't ever recall seeing this.
4:42
It's got to be yours. - Yes.
4:43
- I like it.
4:45
That's a nice measuring cup.
4:46
It's light and you don't have to worry about breaking it.
4:49
- [Theresa] I know.
4:51
- Okay, so we're just gonna fold that in
4:55
and that fresh cream
4:58
is gonna just make that instant pudding,
5:03
like, velvety.
5:05
It's gonna take it to another level.
5:09
You won't think of it being an instant pudding
5:14
by the time we get that all folded in.
5:18
Okay, so we're gonna pour a layer
5:21
of this over our crackers.
5:31
This is one of those great, quick and easy desserts.
5:35
You know, if you have last minute company
5:40
show up, you know, you can serve
5:43
'em this and they'll just think
5:45
you baked all afternoon,
5:48
preparing it for them.
5:53
One little scoop.
5:56
Make sure we got those edges done.
6:02
(water burbling)
6:03
Now, we're gonna put that other layer
6:07
of graham crackers on top.
6:11
I think I like 'em turned that way,
6:14
like, longways.
6:15
(crackers crunching)
6:21
So we're gonna wind up with the last layer,
6:27
being graham crackers.
6:32
(crackers crunching)
6:47
That one broke, but that's all right.
7:06
Okay, let's slip one right in there,
7:10
then right in there.
7:12
Then right in there. Okay.
7:18
So, another layer of pudding.
7:27
So you can see,
7:27
this is turning into what we think
7:30
of as a chocolate eclair
7:33
but where's the chocolate?
7:36
Where's the chocolate, Theresa?
7:39
I don't see any chocolate.
7:41
(Paula laughing)
7:43
- It comes next. - I'm funnin' ya,
7:45
I'm funnin' ya.
7:46
I see it. - I was gonna go,
7:47
"What are you talking about?"
7:48
(Paula chuckling)
7:49
- [Paula] Mmm, mmm, mmm.
7:55
All right, so here we go,
7:56
the last layer
7:59
of graham crackers
8:01
and that pudding tastes so good and so rich.
8:13
Don't know where my rag went.
8:14
(water burbling)
8:19
Okay, the final layer.
8:21
(crackers crunching)
8:34
You know what?
8:35
Having these (chuckles) graham crackers
8:39
out there, you know what it's made me hungry for?
8:44
You wanna make a guess, Eddie?
8:48
- [Eddie] I'll say s'mores.
8:49
- That's exactly what it's made me hungry for.
8:54
Some s'mores.
8:58
I'd love some more s'mores, please.
9:01
(crackers crunching)
9:17
Okey dokey.
9:19
Now it is time to make
9:21
the chocolate part of our Eclair Cake.
9:29
(water burbling)
9:39
And the chocolate ingredients
9:44
for the top
9:46
is 1 1/2 cups of confectionate sugar,
9:50
1/2 a cup of unsweetened cocoa,
9:53
three tablespoons of butter, softened,
9:57
a third of a cup of milk,
10:00
two teaspoons of light corn syrup,
10:03
and a couple a teaspoons of vanilla flavoring.
10:10
So we are just going
10:12
to cover
10:16
the cake with the frosting
10:18
and refrigerate for 24 hours
10:21
because we do want
10:25
this to be firm enough that we can cut it, right?
10:31
And let those graham crackers,
10:33
you know, soak up some of that goodness.
10:36
All right, so we're gonna blend together
10:38
sugar, cocoa.
10:40
Then we're gonna add the butter and our milk,
10:42
and we're gonna mix that well,
10:43
and then we're gonna add the corn syrup
10:44
and the vanilla.
10:46
And we're gonna,
10:47
well, it says we don't even have to use a mixer.
10:51
It's been so long since I've made it.
10:53
I don't remember.
10:55
But I'm gonna go ahead
10:57
and mix our two dry ingredients together.
11:03
And I'm just gonna whisk
11:09
that together.
11:10
I wanna make sure that my confectionate sugar
11:13
and my cocoa is all incorporated
11:17
very, very well.
11:19
(whisk clinking)
11:21
So then I'm gonna add my butter
11:25
and my milk.
11:29
And even though it didn't tell me to,
11:32
I'm going to.
11:35
(beaters rattling)
11:38
I'm going to use my beaters on it,
11:47
because I can trust this.
11:48
(mixer whirring)
11:51
Well, I can't trust my arm if it wears out. (chuckling)
11:56
So we're gonna make sure we get this nice and creamy.
12:00
(mixer whirring)
12:06
So, so easy y'all.
12:10
And you can always change this up
12:17
with different extracts or,
12:20
you know, really whatever you want.
12:26
You can make it have any flavor that you want.
12:29
Now this is our two teaspoons of white corn syrup.
12:42
And now we need two teaspoons of vanilla flavoring.
12:46
That's one, two.
12:49
Two healthy (chuckling) teaspoons
12:54
of vanilla flavoring.
12:56
I love extracts, y'all.
13:00
All right, so we're just gonna beat
13:01
this for a few minutes.
13:02
(mixer whirring)
13:04
And then we're gonna top our Eclair Cake.
13:06
(mixer whirring)
13:08
So we're gonna just pour this over the top
13:19
of our last layer of graham crackers.
13:25
This is like a frosting to our chocolate eclair.
13:33
This is a great recipe, y'all,
13:34
to take to a potluck supper.
13:39
Transports and eats very, very easy.
13:44
So the bad part about this recipe
13:46
is we got to wait 24 hours.
13:52
And I don't have a backup, (chuckling)
13:54
so we gonna have to wait. (chuckling)
13:59
- [Theresa] It's a good make the day before recipe.
14:01
- Oh, it's perfect.
14:03
(water burbling)
14:05
It's perfect.
14:08
Okay, so see y'all in 24. (chuckles)
14:12
We are gonna pretend like it's been 24 hours, okay?
14:16
- [Theresa] Mm-hmm.
14:17
- You got your fork ready?
14:18
- [Theresa] I got my fork.
14:19
- Okay, you get that side and I'll get this side.
14:22
- [Theresa] Okay. Oh, look at that.
14:25
(Paula laughing)
14:28
- I'm (indistinct) into it. - Well, you saw how easy
14:30
it was, Theresa.
14:33
- My God.
14:34
(Paula laughing)
14:36
- I know you don't like the dark chocolate as much,
14:38
but I love dark chocolate.
14:40
- Do you?
14:40
- [Theresa] Mm-hmm.
14:42
- Tastes like fudge on top of it,
14:44
doesn't it? - I know, mm-hmm.
14:45
(Paula chuckles)
14:47
- Another one of those wonderful-
14:50
- Easy.
14:51
- Mm-hmm.
14:57
- Eddie, you're gonna like this.
14:59
- Mm-hmm. (laughing)
15:02
Happy Birthday, Maddie.
15:06
You didn't clean out your bite real good, Theresa.
15:10
(Theresa chuckles)
15:11
(water burbling)
15:15
I hate it when I have to even up everybody's cutting.
15:17
(Paula chuckling)
15:21
Mmm, yum-ola.
15:25
- He's gonna love it.
15:26
- He is gonna love it.
15:29
Eddie just said, "Well, Paula,
15:30
aren't you gonna say, 'Bye'?" (chuckles)
15:32
Bye, y'all.
15:34
A cake had me very distracted.
