01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine water and butter over medium-high heat. Bring to a rolling boil. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Reduce heat to low, add flour all at once, and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball that pulls away from the sides of the pan. (3-5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Remove from heat and transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl. Let cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
05 Step
Recipe View
Using an electric mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. The dough should be smooth and glossy. (5 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Spread the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9x13-inch baking dish. (2 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
08 Step
Recipe View
Remove from the oven and let the shell cool completely in the baking dish. (30-45 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
In a large bowl, beat together milk and softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined. (3-5 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View
Add the instant vanilla pudding mix and continue to beat until the filling is thick and creamy. (2-3 minutes)
11 Step
Recipe View
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled pastry shell. (2 minutes)
12 Step
Recipe View
Top with the thawed whipped topping, spreading it gently over the filling. (2 minutes)
13 Step
Recipe View
Drizzle with chocolate syrup just before serving. (1 minute)
Ensure the butter is completely melted and the water is at a rolling boil before adding the flour for the best pastry texture.
Cool the dough slightly before adding the eggs to prevent them from cooking.
Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the pastry to deflate.
For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and whole milk.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

May 27, 2025I had some leftover pastry cream, so I used that instead of the pudding mix. It was divine!

Jan 14, 2025My crust didn't puff up as much as I expected, but it still tasted great. I think I needed to make sure my oven was hot enough.

Feb 24, 2022Be sure to let the crust cool completely before adding the filling; otherwise, it will get soggy.
