Many years ago, author Deborah Raney first introduced me to Cream Puff Dessert. It’s a delicious, easy recipe and great for potlucks or family entertaining. My family loves it and requests it often.

Ingredients Needed to Make Cream Puff Dessert

  • water
  • butter
  • all-purpose flour
  • eggs
  • cream cheese
  • French Vanilla instant pudding
  • frozen whipped topping (thawed)

Homemade Puff Pastry

homemade puff pastry for cream puff dessert

Rather than buy puff pastry, I make my own, which is easy to do. Simply boil water and butter. Stir in flour until a ball forms, and then transfer mixture to a mixer where you’ll add eggs one at a time, beating well between additions. Then bake your crust. Easy, peasy.

The pudding section is also a snap to make. A combination of softened cream cheese and pudding. I like to use French Vanilla Pudding for this dish. Vanilla works in a pinch, but the French Vanilla flavoring just gives it an “oh la la” moment.

Mix all of this together into one dreamy, creamy concoction. Add pudding mixture to your cooled crust. Top it with whipped topping and drizzle with chocolate syrup. Hershey’s please. And Voila. You’re done!

Chocolate Drizzle on Cream Puff Dessert

Refrigerate for at least an hour, then serve! If it’s going to be a while before I serve the dessert, I will often wait to drizzle the chocolate syrup until then. Otherwise, it tends to spread and stain the whipped topping.
