My mother-in-law makes this cake, and passed the recipe to me. It is absolutely one of my all-time favorite desserts! After reading some reviews here, I think I might have to try putting chocolate in between the "puff" and "cream" layers- sounds like a good addition!

Thanks for a great recipe, family says it's a keeper. I made it as written and it was great that night. After reading reviews I tried it again with a few changes. I baked crust in 2 pie plates, I divided the cheese 'n milk mixture and made one batch with vanilla pudding and choc garnish; the other batch with butterscotch pudding and choc garnish. Thanx for the tip to mix cr cheese and milk. Delicious

Such a crowd-pleasing dessert and so easy. I also added melted chocolate chips to the top of the base and used the icing from Eclairs II for the top -- which I think is KEY! Herhsey's syrup wouldn't do it justice, however the eclairs icing does not spread well, so it's difficult to make it pretty. Made it for a Labor Day picnic and will definitely make again.

Absolutely delicious! My hubby (who is not a sweet eater at all) ate 2 large pieces yesterday. I added a layer of Hershey's hot fudge sauce to the cooled pastry. I'll be making this often.

This was delicious. As suggested by another reviewer I put a layer of chocolate on the pastry before adding the pudding and it was perfect. I messed up and had to do a combination of vanilla pudding and banana creme pudding. (yummy mistake ) Took it to a potluck and it held up well on the table. Many compliments on it. Thanks for making me look good.

I made the filling by itself and froze several bags of it. I use it to fill crepes and plain cream puffs. It's good to have this on store for emergencies!

What a novel idea! I halved the recipe and prepared it in a round cake pan. I found the dough for the crust was hard to spread -- I had to work it for several minutes with my fingers. I assume this is a traditional cream puff dough, but it's probably not so difficult to deal with if you're actually making cream puffs with it and not using it to make the crust of a cake. Instead of using chocolate syrup, I melted real chocolate and drizzled it over the cake. The recipe does not state that it needs to be refrigerated to set up; however, I would recommend chilling for a while before slicing. I cut mine up right away and the filling was not set. Overall, though, yummy, tasty cake. I think it would be a nice WOW dessert to serve to guests.

This is a really good recipe but we've made a few changes... We tend to only use the crust recipe and make our own pudding... Homemade is ALWAYS better!

I made as stated. I agree that the crust tastes quite "eggy" (and I did bake until med dark brown like suggested in reviews)But... don't cream puffs usually taste eggy? I think so. And I thought the amount of filling was perfect. . I loved the way it puffed up over the edge of the baking dish:it was beautiful and rustic looking. I will make again but will use French Vanilla pudding (or a homemade custard),add some vanilla and try adding milk in place of one of the eggs. I won't add sugar though, it was sweet enough for our tastes. Good idea, and a very nice dessert!
