Recipe
To make base of éclairs:
In sauce pan, on medium heat
Put 1 cup of water and 1 stick of margarine, cut up in pieces until margarine melts. Just until it looks as though it will start to boil.
Stir in 1 cup flour all at once and stir with rubber spatula, scraping sides until it forms a ball that doesn't separate, (30 seconds-1 minute.)
Spread mixture in bowl so it cools faster, wait about 15-20 minutes.
After it cools, beat in the eggs, one at a time, and beat after each one until mixture looks shiny and elastic.
Spray Pam on Jelly roll pan and spread mixture on bottom of pan.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes until lightly golden brown, pricking with fork after bubbles start to appear, about half way through baking.
Take out and let cool, then put in refrigerator.
To make filling:
In another mixing bowl, add 8 oz. Cream cheese with 2 pkgs. of pudding mix, plus 1 cup of milk, and beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
Add 2 more cups of milk and beat until slightly thickened. Cool in fridge for 30 minutes.
*Spread cooled mixture of pudding over base in jelly roll pan, put desired amount of cool whip over top and chill in fridge again.
After cooled, melt chocolate frosting (store bought Betty Crocker or Dunkin Hines container)
in microwave stirring after 5-10 seconds until it is melted, and drizzle by spoon over top of cool whip layer.
If you wish, you can use another type of chocolate drizzle, home made, etc.
Cut into squares after cooled.
Must refrigerate remaining éclairs to keep firm!!
