I have six grandchildren and this is one of their favorite desserts. If I don't take it to potlucks, I hear lots of groans! Everyone wants the recipe after they've tried it.

Ingredients

CRUST:

1 cup water

1/2 cup butter

1 cup all-purpose flour

4 large eggs

FILLING:

2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix

3 cups cold whole milk

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

TOPPING:

1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Chocolate sauce

Chopped nuts

Instructions

1 In a saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

2 Spread on a greased 15x10x1-in. jelly roll pan. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes. Cool but do not prick, leaving surface with its "moon-like" appearance.

3 Meanwhile, for filling, beat pudding and milk until thick. Add cream cheese; blend well. Spread on crust; refrigerate 20 minutes. Top with whipped topping. Drizzle chocolate sauce over top and sprinkle with nuts.
