- Cover the lemon eclair cake and return it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 5 hours or overnight. Then serve and enjoy!
Remove the foil and lid completely from the frosting before microwaving or it may spark!
Notes
Let the whipped topping sit out for 5–10 minutes so it mixes more easily.
Make sure to fully remove the foil from the frosting before placing it in the microwave so it doesn't spark. If you can't remove all the foil, place the frosting in a bowl before microwaving.
If you prefer a little less lemon flavor, you can swap vanilla or cheesecake flavored frosting for lemon frosting.
If the cake is still crunchy when you slice it, it just needs more chill time. Overnight works best, especially when it’s warm outside.
