Eclair Torte // If you like eclairs, you will surely fall in love with this Eclair Torte. It's a great dessert to feed a crowd, so delicious it will be gone in minutes! | Tried and TastyA while ago I tried Eclair Cake and really liked it. I mentioned in that recipe that I’m not an eclair fan. At all. I don’t like filled desserts or pastries. I don’t’ know what it is but they just aren’t my thing. Anyway, I really liked the Eclair Cake and needed the recipe immediately after I tried it. Well, after trying THIS, I don’t think I will be making that anymore. Not that it’s bad, but just because this is SO MUCH BETTER! I took this to a gathering with friends and I got so many compliments. It’s that good. The “torte” is very similar and reminds me a lot of a German Pancake batter. I’m telling you people: you must make this immediately. You won’t regret it!

Ingredients

  • 1 c. water
  • ½ c. butter
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 c. flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
  • 3 c. cold milk
  • 2 small boxes instant vanilla pudding
  • 1 8 oz. frozen whipped topping
  • 1 bottle instant hardening chocolate ice cream topping

Instructions

  1. In a sauce pan over medium heat bring water, butter, and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once. Stir until well mixed. Remove from heat, let sit for 5 minutes.  

  2. Add eggs one at a time; beating with a wooden spoon after each. {Jenn’s note: it will be slippery after each, but continue to mix well and it will get sticky again} Spread in a greased 9x13 pan.

  3. Bake for 400 F for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Press center after removing from oven to keep sides of crust. Cool completely. 

  4. While torte is cooling, in a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 c. milk so cream cheese is smooth without lumps. Add remaining 2 c. of milk with pudding. Beat until smooth. 

  5. Spread over cooled puff pastry. Refrigerate ½ hour. Top with whipped cream. Drizzle with ice cream topping. Chill until hardened.

    OOOOh Girl-I can’t wait to try This one! Thanks so much. I love Eclairs & esp. the pastry of an éclair-nothing else I know of has that kind of pastry-except maybe a cream puff.
