Instructions

Base: In saucepan, bring water and butter to boil. Remove from heat; add flour and mix. Add eggs one at a time, mix well after each. Spread on greased 11 x 17 cookie sheet. Bake at 400°F for 30-40 min. until golden brown. Cool.

Filling: Cook pudding according to package. Place in a bowl; cover with plastic wrap that touches entire surface to prevent film from forming, place in fridge until cool. Whip cream with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add vanilla, whip to form stiffer peaks. Fold into pudding. Chill 30 min.

Icing: Melt butter and chocolate chips. Remove from heat; add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk.
Spread chilled pudding mixture over puffed pastry. Drizzle with chocolate icing. Refrigerate until serving (best served within 2 hours); refrigerate leftovers.
