Husband LOVED it...but more for the pudding than anything else. I used the pastry cream from this site vs. instant.

I made this for 8 Firefighters and they LOVED it. My Firefighter son asked if I could make this for his upcoming birthday. Interesting that as we read through the reviews, most of us have gotten away from a true Cream Puff and created an Eclair-like recipe instead. I did the same, adding 1/2 package of melted milk-chocolate chips on top of the pastry before adding the pudding mixture. Then I used chocolate shell topping over real whipped cream. I think next time I'll try chocolate pudding instead of vanilla, as I think that would be even better! (I've only given it four stars instead of five because I made it as an Eclair and not a Cream Puff.)

Awesome! Tastes just like an eclair, but easier to make. I'll use real whipping cream instead of cool whip next time, and try it with hot fudge instead of Hersheys syrup.

My dad has diabetes and I am following Weight Watchers so I used neufchatel cheese, no-sugar/no-fat instant pudding, skim milk and Lite Cool Whip. It came out wonderful. My family, who are usually skeptical about "light" desserts, thought it was excellent. Even my mom, who dislikes sweets, had two servings! I plugged the recipe as I made it into the Weight Watchers Recipe Builder and it calculated each serving to be 3 points. This recipe is definitely a "make again".

Just made this for the bunco girls. Everyone loved it. I followed a previous reviewer's idea of pouring a layer of Chocolate Fudge Magic Shell between the crust and the pudding. I will make this again. Also, there were no clumps of cream cheese as others have had...I have a Kitchen Aid mixer and I used the wire whisk attachment and mixed ROOM TEMPERATURE cream cheese with milk, pouring the milk VERY slowly...no lumps.

I have this same recipe from my mother and it is ALWAYS a hit with our family. My son requests this dessert every chance he can. Instead of cool whip we use whipped heavy cream. My mother is European and hates Cool Whip so we substitute.

After reading all the wonderful reviews on this I decided to give it a try. It turned out great and the chocolate layer over the crust really did make the difference. Everyone loved it!

Like everyone else said, this was great! Really rich and different from the usual. My husband liked the change of pace. I didn't hsve cool whip so I made whipped cream with 1 c heavy whipping cream, 1/4c sugar and 1t vanilla. It was really good.

This is a cool and refreshing dessert. My family loved it, in fact they challenged me to make individual desserts. My husband suggested to use a cupcake pan and to fill it with chocolate pudding instead. So I presented it to my family again, and they loved it. I did combine the cool whip with the pudding mix which made it lighter, then I sprinkled powdered sugar on top. I get requests all the time for the cupcake version!!

A little tip with the cream cheese/milk blending. I noticed that a lof of people have posted complaints about lumps. The trick is to not put the cream cheese with all 4 C. of milk or you will get lumps no matter how high you turn on the blender. Mix all of the cream cheese with a small amount of milk until smooth and slowly add the rest of the milk while blending and the mixture will stay smooth. I hope this helps!

This is my family's favorite birthday cake- it's made for many occasions. For a special treat, I use fresh whipping cream instead of frozen whipped topping.

Sorry but this just didn't do it for me. It tasted like pudding on a cracker. Oh and then there are the little lumps of cream cheese that I couldn't get to go away no matter how fast I turned my Kitchen Aid to. It didn't really matter because you can't tell there is cream cheese in it anyway. I'm serious...it is basically pudding on a crust with some whipped cream on top. Not going to be making this again anytime soon.

This turned out very pretty. But the cream was a bit lumpy, as others mentioned. I used the chocolate shell recipe from this site in between the crust and the cream...yum! Everyone seemed to think it was delicious...the lumps just bugged me.

i love cream puffs, so i had to try this. i was expecting the crust to be flakier, but mine was sort of chewy, but the flavor was very good. i took advice from other reviewers and added a layer of nutella between the puff layer and the pudding, and i used cool whip on top. it was perfect! i can't wait to make this for company!

It didn't have the success I expected reading the great reviews. Almost nobody took a second part which is very unusual among our group of friends. I thought personnaly that there was way too much pudding mixture and that's all you could taste. I would recommend cutting the amount by at least a third. I used whipped cream instead of coolwhip. I put somme chocolate sauce on the crust as suggested by others but I think it would be as good without it.

My grandmom makes this quite often and I couldn't read the writing on the recipe card she gave me. I came looking for it here and it's the same recipe! This is a classic around the house and very light and delicious. It's also great with a few strawberries thrown on top.
