Instead of graham crackers we will use simple biscuits like Parle-G (or Tiger biscuits) that are easily available everywhere. Also we will use fresh cream or table cream instead of whipping cream. We will prepare the pudding easily at our stove top to reduce the cost of this no bake sweet dish. Do give this recipe a try I am sure you will say this is the best eclair cake you ever tasted.

5. When it starts sizzling from the sides of the pot add butter in it and stir it till its completely dissolved.

7. In a serving dish ( I used 10x10 square dish) place biscuits as a base layer of the dish. 

8. Soak the biscuits with some milk, but be careful do not over soak.

9. Make a second layer of biscuits so that base of dessert should be thick. Soak this layer of biscuits with milk as well.

10. Add a layer of fresh cream over the biscuits, spread evenly. 

11. Then again spread 2 layers of biscuits over the cream layer, soak each layer with milk just as we did for the base layer. 

12. Now add the prepared chocolate pudding over the biscuits and spread evenly.

13. Make a layer of biscuits over the pudding layer, soak with milk and layer the remaining fresh cream over these biscuits.

14. Add the final 2 layers of biscuits over the cream layer, soak each layer with some milk.

15. Top with remaining chocolate pudding and smooth the surface as much as you can.

16. Crush some biscuits with hands and spread over the top for garnishing. I used white chocolate chips and a chocolate truffle for garnishing as well.
