Description

Tastes just like a cream puff but comes in a neat dessert square!

Ingredients

  • BOTTOM LAYER
  • 1 cup Water
  • ½ cups Butter (1 Stick)
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 4 whole Large Eggs
  • _____
  • Filling
  • 1 box Instant Vanilla Pudding (large, 6-serving Size)
  • 1 block Cream Cheese (8 Oz. Softened)
  • 1-¾ cup Whole Milk
  • _____
  • 1 container Cool Whip (8 Oz)
  • Chocolate Syrup

Preparation

On stove top, heat water and butter to boiling in large sauce pan. Stir in flour, stirring until mixture “leaves” the side of pan. Remove from heat and beat in eggs, one at a time with hand held mixer, beating well after each addition.

Put in a 9×13 pan and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove (will be puffy) and punch down with back of wooden spoon. Cool.

Mix pudding, cream cheese and milk. Pour over cooled crust. Spread Cool Whip on top and drizzle with chocolate syrup.

Chill for at least 4 hours. Enjoy!

Somewhere in the past, I knew this dessert as moon pie! It was baked in a really large splatter-ware circle pan. I am making this for Sunday dinner, but I got inspired to make ahead homemade chocolate pie filling instead of this yummy sounding filling. Thanks for the tip, flemel2001!

This is definitely a family favorite! I recommend not drizzling the chocolate syrup until you’re ready to serve. I would also advise drizzling the chocolate over individual pieces instead of over the top of the entire 9×13 pan (unless you know that the whole pan will be consumed that day). I find that it doesn’t look as appealing if it’s refrigerated as leftovers with the syrup already on.

I’ve made this for years. It is one of my favorite desserts. I use a butter knife to swirl the chocolate sauce on top to make it look extra special

This is a family favorite. I’ve found that it’s best to add the milk to the cream cheese/pudding mix a little at a time, so it stays lump free.

I’ve tried other pudding flavors as well as sugar free pudding and all were great.

I don’t like chocolate syrup very much so usually leave it off or grate some milk chocolate on top.
