Simple and Delicious

January 20, 2010 /

Years ago, my former sister-in-law passed on this recipe to me.  My entire family has been eternally grateful ever since.  🙂   A dessert so simple to make….and quite tasty too!

Giant Cream Puff

Crust

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 4 eggs

Bring water and butter to a boil.  Remove from heat and add flour.  Stir well until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.  Set aside to cool.

After the dough has cooled, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.  Spread this mixture in the bottom of a 9″ x 13″ pan.  Bake in a 400º oven for 25 minutes.  If large bumps form, prick them with a toothpick after baking.  Allow dough to cool.

Pay no attention to my well used Pampered Chef pan  🙂  …….let’s move on to the filling ~

Cream Filling

  • 2 – 3 1/4 ounce packages of vanilla or coconut cream instant pudding
  • 1 – 8 ounce package softened cream cheese
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 – 12 ounce package of whipped cream

Combine pudding, cream cheese and milk…..mix until thick.  

Spread this over the cooled crust……….

and top with whipped cream…….

  Chill well before serving…..and enjoy!

  An option is to drizzle chocolate syrup or sauce all over the top before chilling.  I don’t add the chocolate because it is quite rich without it.
