Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter, cubed

I would make it again but a different flavor of pudding. I am not a huge fan of cream cheese or its taste, I think perhaps regular chocolate or perhaps pineapple or banana, the crust is very elegant, however, my husband ate the whole thing by himself.

Lori Burns....what kind of flour did you use? That might make a difference?

This was good, but no one was really that crazy about it in my house. I was nervous about the crust not having any sugar, but it was actually fine without it.

This is the third time I've made this recipe and it's always a big hit! This time I tried the Instant Coconut Cream pudding and sprinkled toasted coconut on top! MMMMMMM!!!
