Eclair Dessert

Sundays are family day at our house.  We usually either eat at a family or go to my parents to eat with my sister and brother.  We ate at my parents this weekend and I needed a dessert that was gout friendly as well as everyone would like it.  I came across this dessert and everyone loved it.  It was easy and good.

Eclair Dessert

Ingredients

Crust:
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
Filling:
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 large box (5.1 ounces) vanilla instant pudding
• 3 cups milk

Topping:

Homemade whip cream

Instructions

1. Instructions:
2. Preheat oven to 400. Lightly grease a 9"X13" glass baking pan.
3. For the 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. Mixture will be very wet. *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. No big deal but I like the crust to go up the sides a bit.
4. 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).
5. For the Filling: Whip cream cheese in a medium bowl. In separate bowl make vanilla pudding by beating the pudding mix and the milk for 3 minutes and put in the fridge until set. 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.
6. For the homemade whip cream, you need 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 3 tbl of sugar, and some vanilla.  Mix with the whisk until it foams stiff picks.  Then top on the pudding.
