Cream Puff Cake

This is a great summer dessert! I made it with my kiddos in our Aprons and Desserts class. I love cream puffs, but this is pretty darn close!  I even had to BAKE the crust! 

Cream Puff Cake

Ingredients

1 stick margarine
1 cup water
1 cup flour
4 eggs
1 large box instant vanilla pudding
3 cups milk
1 – 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 – 8 oz. carton cool whip
chocolate syrup

Directions

Boil together the margarine and water. 

Add flour and mix well. Cool slightly and stir in eggs, one at a time. Mix well and spread into a greased 9x13 pan. 

Bake at 400 for 30 minutes. Cool completely. 

In a large bowl, mix pudding, milk and cream cheese. Beat until lumps disappear.

Pour into cream puff crust.

Spread cool whip on top of pudding and drizzle syrup on top. Refrigerate.

ENJOY!
