I've been making this recipe now for the last ten years. I love it. Crust is made from scratch and taste like a real cream puff, none of this instant graham cracker crust. So glad you posted it.

Very simple dish to make! I forgot to take the cream cheese out to soften before adding it to the pudding mixture so it was kind of curdy (note to self for next time), but it was still pretty good! My family loved this recipe and liked how it wasn't an overly sweet dessert.

I love to cook, but don't have a lot of time to do it, since I work full time. I like to try a new recipe every Saturday, if time allows. <br> <br>I have one grown son and three grandaughters ages 16,10 and 3. The ten year old has won many medals in gymnastics meets over the past few years.
