Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour all at once and stire until a smooth ball forms. Continue beating until smooth and shiny. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 mins. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Transfer to a greased 13 in x 9 in baking dish. Bake at 400 for 22-26 mins or until puffed and golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.

For filling, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, milk and pudding mixes until smooth. Spread over the crust; refrigerate for 20 mins. Spread with whipped topping. Chill until serving.
