Made this for dessert for Easter dinner, and I can hardly move as I write this review. This was reallllllly good! I added just about a half teaspoon of vanilla to the pudding mix, seemed to make the vanilla flavor come out. Also, when blending the cream cheese and milk, cream the cheese first, then add the milk slowly. DH wants me to make this again (not tomorrow though :o)...) and put some bananas in it. Yum! :o)

Just a note on the "soggy crust" review. The last time I made this after I made the crust I turned on the broiler in my oven and broiled it for 2 or 3 minutes to get it nice and brown and crispy. Worked out perfectly!

This was fantastic! I made it the night before, because I like to make pudding type desserts and let them sit and absorb the flavors (but save the Cool Whip for shortly before serving). I made this for a party and it was a huge hit! We did use the chocolate sauce, and it was perfect! I did not notice the crust getting soggy at all.

Wasn't as good as I thought it would be. MUST be eaten within 1 day of making or the crust goes soggy. Also you may want to just make regular cream puffs as the crust is really much thicker than it should be for a cream puff.

I found this recipe back in Oct 2001 posted by Nancy...here it is again. Still a winner at every occasion. Soggy crust tips: 1-Make it the same day you serve it, 2-Make sure to pull the crust way up the sides so it doesn't come out too thick on the bottom, 3-Use whole milk and real cream cheese to keep liquids as thick as possible. I use fudge ice cream sauce on the top. Goes a long way.

Made this, and ate this, and ate this, and ate this....SOOO GOOD!! I didn't have chocolate syrup though, but I didn't even miss it (20 lbs. later/lol!) Thanks, Mark, for a wonderful recipe!!

This was so easy to make and super yummy! The name of the recipe is perfect! And this is so much easier to make as a cake than to make individual cream puffs (no slicing open, no filling). Very yummy! It makes a lot if you aren't planning on serving it with company. Make sure the cream cheese is softened to facilitate the blending with the milk. Mine had tiny bits of cream cheese in the pudding layer (but it didn't stop us from eating it). Thank you for a fun, easy, and tasty recipe!

oh my...this was absolutly wonderful! I actually made mine half chocolate half vanilla...the vanilla box had chocolate inside LOL but it was still delish. Very easy and fast to make too. But you do have to grease your pan really really really well. Tastes just like cream puffs. Yuummmy!!!

This is soooo good. I made it for a dinner party and it was a real hit. The pan was empty before everyone left for home. As one other reviewer suggested, pull the batter all the way up the sides and mix the cream cheese with a bit of milk then add more milk slowly. The mixture will be smoother.This was like one big cream puff---MMMMM

Poker, my daughter has this exact recipe! Hers is called cream puff cake! It is a delicious dessert and it's also delicious made with chocolate pudding instead of vanilla!
