    My family devoured this! The overnight chilling is key – it really lets the flavors come together.

    I substituted the vanilla pudding with cheesecake flavor. This tasted better than the original recipe.

  • Hillard Champlin

    This recipe is a lifesaver! I always wanted to make cream puffs, but I was too intimidated. This pan version is so easy and delicious!
