Key Lime Eclair Cake, layers of creamy filling bursting with key lime flavor between graham crackers, topped with vanilla frosting.

Tastes just like a key lime pie, but much easier!

Yes, another recipe featuring key limes. I know… I’m obsessed. My number one post on this blog is for my Individual Frozen Key Lime Pies (shared over 1.2 MILLION times!) .

But it doesn’t just stop there, I have key lime cookies, even key lime chicken wings…. I like to think of myself as a key lime aficionado, LOL.

Since you all love my key lime pie recipe sooo much I wanted to take that same idea but put a twist on it. I thought about making this layered eclair cake because it would take perfectly to the key lime pie filling.

This is a touch different than other key lime eclair cakes I have seen in the past. Normally they are made with pudding and mine has none.

You get an incredible key lime tart kick from this “cake”. It is not overly sweet due to the key lime juice, which is just how I like my desserts.

It might look like it’s full of sugar (and it is) but it doesn’t have that overly sweet taste a normal eclair cake has.

I let mine set up overnight but I think this would be good to go after 3-4 hours of sitting in the fridge. The key lime filling soaks into the graham crackers making it super easy to slice.

It is topped with a canned frosting, making this a breeze to put together!

The hardest part about this cake is squeezing all those teenie tiny key limes, but if you use a good quality bottled key lime juice you can skip that step as well!

    Oh wow, this is sooo perfect for a unique summertime sweet treat. They make gluten free graham crackers, and I’m pretty sure I can convert this into a fab dessert for my gluten intolerant mom. Pinned this rockin’ recipe! Thanks!

      I’m so glad! I’m not sure how it would be in the freezer but I don’t think it would hurt. BUT, I haven’t tried it. If you do, please let us know how it comes out!
