Chocolate Eclair Cake
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
4 large eggs
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 large box (5.1 ounces) vanilla instant pudding
3 cups milk
1 8 oz. container cool whip (you won't use the whole container) or one batch of homemade whipped cream
chocolate syrup or homemade chocolate sauce
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
4 large eggs
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 large box (5.1 ounces) vanilla instant pudding
3 cups milk
1 8 oz. container cool whip (you won't use the whole container) or one batch of homemade whipped cream
chocolate syrup or homemade chocolate sauce
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400. Lightly grease a 9″X13″ glass baking pan.
Eclair
Crust: In a medium saucepan, melt butter in water and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat. Stir in flour. Mix in one egg at a time, mixing
completely before adding another egg. Spread mixture into pan, covering
the bottom and sides evenly. *If the sides of your pan are too greased
you won't be able to get the mixture to stay up the sides so make sure
to just lightly grease.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden
brown (Mine only took 25 minutes.) You may want to check it
occasionally-you don't want to overcook the crust, it will ruin the
cake! Remove from oven and let cool (don't touch or push bubbles down).
Filling:
Whip cream cheese in a medium bowl. In separate bowl make vanilla
pudding. Make sure pudding is thick before mixing in with cream cheese.
Slowly add pudding to cream cheese, mixing until there are no lumps. Let
cool in fridge.When the crust is completely cooled, pour filling in.
Top with layer of cool whip however thick you want it and serve with
chocolate syrup. *If you want to make this even better use homemade
whipped cream.
