Cream Puff Dessert Recipe

Cream Puff Dessert 2I don’t remember the first time I tried this dessert.  I kind think my Mom made something similar when I was growing up, but Jason’s grandmother Delores made it every year for Easter.  It’s one of the foods my husband would most look forward to.  So when Grandma passed away, and we began celebrating Easter at home naturally my husband wanted Cream Puff Dessert! 

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup water
1 cup flour
4 eggs
  3 cups milk
6 oz instant vanilla pudding
8 oz cream cheese
8 oz Cool Whip

Cream Puff dessert pastry boil water and butterMaking Cream Puff Dessert take three steps.  The first step is to make the pastry.  Bring the butter and water to a boil. 

Cream puff dessert pastry add flourAdd the cup of flour carefully as the water and butter begin to rise as it boils. 

Cream Puff Dessert Pastry stir and coolMix in the flour.  Remove from heat and cool.

Cream Puff dessert pastry and puddingWhen pastry is completely cool, spread the pudding over the pastry.  Refrigerate until set.  I usually leave it overnight, but an hour or two would be fine.

Cream Puff Dessert a crowd favorite

This is a huge hit at our house at Easter or any time.  It does take time between steps to cool the pastry and set the pudding, but it’s very easy and works well made ahead.

    My late brother-in-law made this for years. It is the greatest! I tried it once with chocolate pudding and it was an epic failure. It is perfect as is…cool, refreshing and a great dessert that doesn’t give you a stuffed feeling! Glad to see someone else makes this!

      Oh good to know it doesn’t work with chocolate. Yes, it’s certainly a classic in our book. Thanks so much for stopping by!
