I have six grandchildren and this is one of their favorite desserts. If I don't take it to potlucks, I hear lots of groans! Everyone wants the recipe after they've tried it.
Ingredients:
crust:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
4 eggs
filling:
2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
topping:
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
chocolate sauce
chopped nuts
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
2. Spread on a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. jelly roll pan. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes. Cool but do not prick, leaving surface with its moon-like appearance.
3. Meanwhile, for filling, beat pudding and milk until thick. Add cream cheese; blend well. Spread on crust; refrigerate 20 minutes. Top with whipped topping. Drizzle chocolate sauce over top and sprinkle with nuts. Yield: about 15 servings.
