This is amazing!! Refrig for 24hrs prior to serving for best taste, but then again it might not make it 24hrs especially in my fridge!!
The first time my mother-in-law made this, I knew i had to have the recipe! it is fabulous–everyone loves it. If you need a quick fix, use some prepared rich chocolate frosting and it will do—although the choc. glaze is the best!
SO simple, SO delish!! Can’t believe I only recently heard of this from a friend. I highly recommend refigerating it for at least 24 hours before serving. The crackers will be softer and more cake-like. For the icing, I use 1/2 cup cocoa powder in place of the chocolate (all other ingredients same). Mix cocoa and powdered sugar, melt the butter and stir into dry mix w/milk, then add syrup and vanilla. Pours well.
Just got home from a get together with our friends and someone brought this desert. It was delicious and was gobbled up. We forgot to get the recipe, so I told them I’d get from recipezaar. I’m definely going to make it. Your recipe is idendtical to what we had, thanks for posting it.
I’m so glad to see this easy-peasy recipe here. I’ve made it for years, and it’s always popular. Whether you use whole milk or skim, it always turns out delicious. I don’t see the need to butter the pan, though – the crackers don’t stick to the pan. Thanks for posting this perennial favorite!
Thank u for posting this recipe……I have made many times and it is always a hit…so good that I can not make it too often, as it is one of desserts that I can’t resist…….I have absolutley no will power when this is dish in the frig……delicious and so easy to make!!!!
This is incredible!! So easy and delicious I can’t believe it. I’ve made it twice in the past two weeks and it has gotten rave reviews from my guests. The second time I made it though I used vanilla pudding and added some vanilla extract to the filling and I think it came out better but it was a hit both ways! I love the chocolate glaze on this. It really does taste like an eclair and is so easy to make I can’t keep the ingredients on hand or I’ll be eating it all the time! Thanks for posting – I love it!
Ingredients
Crust:
1 square butter or margarine (1/2 cup)
1 cup flour
1 cup water
¼ tsp salt
1 Tablespoon Sugar
4 eggs
Filling:
1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
2 small packages vanilla instant pudding
3 cup milk
8 oz container cool whip for top
chocolate syrup for drizzling on top, optional
Strawberry or banana slices to garnish on top, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On low heat in a medium saucepan, melt the butter on low. Add water and bring to a boil. Turn off the burner and add flour, salt, sugar and mix into a softball. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time and mix in with a fork until incorporated. Spray a jelly roll pan or a 9×13 inch pan with cooking spray. Spread the mixture out on the pan. If using a 9×13, slightly bring the mixture up on the sides. Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven. The crust will bubble up and the edges will turn slightly brown. Let it cool until room temperature.
For the filling, In a stand mixer or using beaters mix 1 cup of milk with the cream cheese and mix until creamy. Add pudding mix and the rest of the milk and mix well together until creamy.
Spread over the cooled crust. Spread the cool whip on top of the filling mixture. You can top with fresh strawberry slices or bananas if desired. Drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
