Eclair Torte Recipe

Restaurant Dessert Recipe

This Eclair Torte Recipe was given to me by a friend.

My long (long)-time husband has a friend. In fact two, maybe three. The wife of one of his friends sent me a recipe to try. It was well received.

It is now a Real-Restaurant-Recipe.

Thank you, Linda, for the recipe. And thank you for loving my husband’s friend all these many years. (I understand…;-0. But you and I are STRONG).

Restaurant Dessert Recipe

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup water
• 1/2 Cup butter (No substitutes)
• 1 Cup flour
• 4 Eggs
• 1 Pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese softened
• * 2 Pkgs. (3.4 oz each) Instant vanilla pudding
• * 3 Cups cold milk
• 1 Carton Cool Whip
• Chocolate syrup (or bourbon sauce)
• Slivered almonds- optional

Instructions:

* (The recipe calls for a 9x13 size pan, however I usually make it larger. I use an 11x14 pan  and increase the pudding amounts.)

• Get all the needed ingredients at your finger-tips
• In saucepan bring water and butter to boil
• Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms
• Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes

• Add eggs one at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each addition
• Beat until smooth
• Spread into a greased 9x13 pan or 11x14 pan

• Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until puffed and golden
• Cool completely on a wire rack.

• (If desired remove puff and place on serving platter)

• In mixing bowl beat cream cheese (I gradually add 1 Cup of the milk as I beat it so that the cream cheese is smooth and without lumps)
• Add remaining milk and the pudding mixes
• Beat, following pudding directions, until smooth
• Spread over puff and refrigerate for 20 minutes
• Spread with Cool Whip and refrigerate
• Drizzle with chocolate syrup and sprinkle with almonds just before serving 
• Refrigerate leftovers

Enjoy!
