Took the advice of others and added chocolate under the pudding. My kids LOVED this cake. Each of them asked for it for their birthdays.

Delicious! Like other reviewers, I added chocolate by spreading a jar of hot fudge beneath the pudding mixture. Everyone loved it,and it was very simple to make. Will make this on a regular basis. Thanks for a great recipe!

I usually use at least one box of cheesecake pudding to add a richer flavor. I'll spread an entire jar of Nutella over the shell before adding the filling. Always a hit.

Wonderful recipe. I needed it to be a finger food so I made individual servings using my muffin tins(I only cooked them for about 15 min.). They turned out perfect. I followed the advice of others and put a layer of chocolate on before the pudding. I used the satiny chocolate glaze from this site. Delicious!

I had this recipie at work one day, and did not care for the filling. I do not like boxed puddings. So I made my own version, Coconut Cream-Cream Puff Cake. I made homeade Coconut Cream Vanilla Pudding, (the recipie I use for Coconut Cream Pie, and then put meringue on top instead of whipped cream. It was absolutely wonderful.

So yummy. I also call it "Moon Cake". I think hot fudge tastes much better than Hersey's syrup. I leave out the cream cheese because I never can get out all the clumps! Try it, you'll love it, and so will your guests!

A wonderful recipe. Other recommendations are worth the effort. Make sure the dough is smooth in the pan before baking this stops large air pockets from forming. And the layer of chocolate(from another eclair recipe) on the cooled dough before adding the cream cheese mixture makes the difference from "cream puff" to eclair. And if you want the cream cheese mix to be smooth make sure you add only a small amount of milk till the cream cheese is thinned out, then add the rest of the milk with the pudding. All in all a great recipe. A hit every time I make it.

I made the wonderful cream puff base, but instead of the filling listed I made a tiramisu filling(mascarpone cheese, whipped cream, coffee liqueur etc.). I grated chocolate on top for an extra crunch. It looked and tasted great! (I have put up a picture.)

This recipe is great. I was worried that the crust wouldn't turn out, but I think it must be fool proof!! I made the recipe sugar free by using sugar free pudding, sugar free cool whip and sugar free chocolate syrup. It was a hit!!

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!!
