Everybody loves Chocolate Eclairs, right? However, making the vanilla custard filling and chocolate ganache from scratch and messily filling pastries can be time consuming and delicate work. Well, here's a recipe that has all the eclair flavor (with a few handy shortcuts) in an easy to make cake! We hope you love it as much as we do!
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
3 cups cold milk
2 packages (3.4 oz. each) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 carton (12 oz.) Cool Whip, thawed
2 to 4 Tablespoons chocolate syrup
In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the water, butter and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny.
Spread mixture into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack. If desired, remove puff from pan and place on a serving platter.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the milk and pudding mix; beat until smooth. Spread over puff; refrigerate for 20 minutes. Spread with the Cool Whip; refrigerate. Drizzle with chocolate syrup just before serving. Refrigerate leftovers. Serves 12.
