Chocolate Cream Puff Dessert
Puff:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
Filling:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3-1/2 cups cold milk
2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant choc. pudding mix
Topping:
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Chocolate topping (choc syrup for ice cream)
Caramel topping
Slivered almonds
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9 X 13 inch baking dish.
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter in water until bubbly. Dump in flour all at once and stir vigorously until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until smooth and glossy. Spread in prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until puffy and golden. Cool completely.
While puff is cooling, beat together cream cheese, milk and pudding mix. Spread over cooled puff. Chill 20 minutes. Spread whipped topping over chilled filling and drizzle with chocolate and caramel toppings. Sprinkle with almonds.
I refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.
