Creme Puff!!!
Okay just as promised I am home from work at 12 and here is the recipe. I am even early. I am glad that everyone enjoyed it so much. If anyone has any questions about the recipe please let me know.
Cream Puff Dessert
Dough:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter (1 stick, no substitutions)
1 cup all purpose flour (I tried whole wheat flour does NOT taste good)
4 eggs
Filling:
1 package of cream cheese softened (8 ounces)
3 1/2 cups milk (I personally use soy milk because of lactose problems)
3 big packages of Sugar Free Chocolate instant pudding
Topping:
1 package of Sugar Free Cool Whip
Almonds (sliced or slivered)
Optional:
Chocolate or Carmel ice cream topping (I used sugar free for mine)
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time; beating well after each addition. (note: I use a fork to stir them in and you have to make sure the eggs are mixed in very well) Beat until smooth
Spread into a 13X9 baking dish. (I use pam on my spoon to get it to spread easily in the pan) Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack. Meanwhile in a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, milk and pudding mix until smooth. Spread over puff; refrigerate for 20 minutes. Spread with whipped topping; refrigerate until serving. Drizzle with chocolate and caramel if chosen, sprinkle with almonda and serve. Store leftovers in the fridge.
