Nutella Strawberry Eclair Dessert

I should've never ever tasted this dessert. It took me awhile to try it because I don't like Nutella, but when I did, I was hooked. I love the lightness of the crust and the creamy pudding. This is another one of my husband's favorites. McKinzie made this for a few of our family get-togethers. This last January, Kalani was insistent on this being her "birthday cake". We just love it that much. Enjoy!
