This was good but the crust got soggy. Next time I will not put the filling in until I get ready to serve it.

I've made this twice now & it is a HUGE hit with all who tasted it. It's so much easier than making individual cream puffs. I did melt a bag of chocolate chips (with a little half & half) & put that as the 1st layer on the pastry. For me, a cream puff needs chocolate! :)

My husband said this was "good for not having chocolate in it". It was very easy and very good. Next time I will try it with chocolate pudding for my chocoholic husband.
