From the kitchen of Kay Putano<\/h4>\n\n\n

Crust<\/p>\n

In a saucepan, over med- high heat, bring to a boil:<\/p>\n

1 c water<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1\/2 c margarine<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Reduce to low heat.<\/p>\n

Stir in:<\/p>\n

1 c flour<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Stir until it forms a ball.<\/p>\n

Remove from heat.<\/p>\n

Either let cool slightly, or move quickly so the eggs don’t cook in the next step.<\/p>\n

Add, one at a time:<\/p>\n

4 eggs<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Mix well after each egg.<\/p>\n

Using fingers, spread in an ungreased 13 x 9 pan.<\/p>\n

If too sticky to spread, wet fingers with water.<\/p>\n

Re-wet fingers as dough starts to stick again.<\/p>\n

Bake @ 400 for 20 minutes or until golden.<\/p>\n

Cool completely.<\/p>\n

Press down any air bubbles.<\/p>\n

Filling<\/p>\n

Beat until smooth:<\/p>\n

8 oz cream cheese<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

On low, slowly add:<\/p>\n

1\/4 c milk<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If you add the milk all at once it’ll be lumpy, if it’s on high it’ll splatter.<\/p>\n

Scrape the sides of the bowl.<\/p>\n

Add:<\/p>\n

large box vanilla pudding\/ custard<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Mix on low, slowly adding:<\/p>\n

2 3\/4 c milk<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Occasionally scrape the sides of the bowl.<\/p>\n

Continue until all milk is added.<\/p>\n

Spread on cooled crust.<\/p>\n

Just before serving, spread with:<\/p>\n

8 oz tub Cool Whip<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Drizzle with:<\/p>\n

chocolate syrup<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Keep refrigerated.<\/p>\n
