This Easy Cream Puff Dessert brings all the airy, creamy magic of a classic cream puff—without the fuss! With a tender pastry base, layers of rich vanilla pudding and cream cheese, and a fluffy whipped topping drizzle with chocolate syrup, it’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser for any occasion.
Ingredients
• 1 cup water
• ½ cup butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 eggs
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 4 cups milk (divided)
• 3 (3.4 oz) packages instant French vanilla pudding
• 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
• Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
Instructions
Make the Crust: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour all at once, stirring constantly until mixture pulls away from sides.
Remove from heat and beat in eggs one at a time until smooth. Spread into a greased 9×13-inch pan.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and puffed. Let cool completely—it will deflate, forming a perfect shell.
Make the Filling: Beat cream cheese with 1 cup milk until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk remaining 3 cups milk with pudding mix. Combine both mixtures and beat until thickened.
Spread pudding mixture over the cooled crust. Top with whipped topping.
