The reviewers that described the bars as "cake like" probably overmixed the dry ingredients. Mine came out like bars and slightly chewy, even more bar like over night. I made a mascarpone frosting with mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla.

Great for potluck! I saved the leftover bacon fat and mixed it with the dressing and yup! It's delicious.

Thanks for a great recipe! Very versatile and you can definitely use your imagination to create your own puff cake. I added about two tablespoons of sugar and 1/4 tsp. of salt in the pastry crust; I think it brings out the flavor of the puff pastry. For the pudding mixture, I used a can of condensed milk and omitted a cup of milk and a box of pudding mixture. And instead of the cool whip, I beated a cup of heavy whipping cream with two tablespoons of sugar and a tablespoon of bailey's. Finally I topped it off with a crust of the turtle delight magic shell by Smucker's. Next time I plan on making a banana rum puff cake..can't wait!!
