Cream Puff in a Pan

This is absolutely delicious and great for a large crowd. This is from Michelle's mom and has made on several occasions. I have never made myself, but am testing out this next weekend. I was introduced to her mom as the one who loves her cream puff...she says it is very easy to make.

Topping

2 small boxes French Vanilla pudding (instant)
3 1/2 cups milk
8 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. cool whip
Choc. Syrup

Crust

1 cup water
1 cup flour
1/2 cup oleo or butter
6 eggs (room temp)

Bring water and oleo to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir rapidly until it pulls away from side of pan. Remove from heat. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Spread in jelly roll pan (10x15 inches). Bake for 30 minutes at 400. Let cool.

Mix two small instant French Vanilla puddings with 3 1/2 cups milk. Beat in 8 oz. cream cheese (Be sure to beat cream cheese first). Pour over crust. Refrigerate until firm. Spread 8 oz. cool whip over pudding. Drizzle with chocolate syrup.

THE PACU NURSE

A small but highly skilled area
A separate entity owning to itself
We cradle your infants
We comfort your young children
We teach your adolescent and young adults
We console you in your time of need
Wipe your tears and encourage you
to be strong
Instruct you to care for yourself
the best you can
We care for your elderly and the
critically ill
We awaken you from your induced slumber
We're the distant voices, the faded smiles
The tender touch that most forget
To those of you who know and
remember us...we say thanks
To those of you who have touched our
lives as we have yours...
We say, it was our pleasure
taking care of you
Even though you were here with us
for a short time
You have your imprints on our hearts
and in our minds.

Great......

The most popular day to my blog is the day I posted something I should not have. A broken heart can make one a little insane. I am sorry for my temporary insanity to those who were unfortunate enough to catch it.
