Ingredients

Crust:
  • 1/2 cups butter or margarine
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 4 egg
Filling:
  • 1 package cream cheese 8 oz. softened
  • 2 packages vanilla instant pudding mix small
  • 3 cup milk
  • 1 container Cool Whip 8 oz., for top
Optional Toppings:
  • chocolate syrup optional, for drizzling
  • strawberry optional, or banana, slices for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On low heat in a medium saucepan, melt the butter on low. Add water and bring to a boil. Next, turn off the burner and quickly add flour, salt, sugar, and mix until you form a ball. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Add eggs one at a time and mix in with a fork until incorporated. Spray a jelly roll pan or a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray. Spread the mixture out on the pan. If using a 9x13, slightly bring the mixture up on the sides. Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven. The crust will bubble up and the edges will turn slightly brown. Let it cool until room temperature.
Filling:
  1. For the filling, In a stand mixer or using beaters mix 1 cup of milk with the cream cheese and mix until creamy. Add pudding mix and the rest of the milk and mix well together until creamy.
  2. Spread over the cooled crust. Spread the cool whip on top of the filling mixture. You can top with fresh strawberry slices or bananas if desired. Drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
