Ingredients
Cream Puff Crust:
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
Additional Ingredients:
- 5 cups custard (double my French Custard recipe – see note)
- 1 cup whipping cream (or 2 cups whipped)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°. Grease a 9×13 pan and set aside.
- In a saucepan, bring the butter and water to a boil.
- Add the flour and mix well.
- Cool slightly then beat in the eggs, 1 at a time.
- When the mixture is completely mixed, spread in the 9×13 pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes then remove from oven and completely cool.
While the crust is baking and cooling:
- Make the custard and set aside to cool.
- Whip the cream.
- Close to serving time, when everything is cooled, spread the custard over the crust and top with the whipped cream. You can drizzle with chocolate sauce, too.
Notes:
This is my French Custard Recipe
Make Ahead: This is a great make-ahead recipe. You can assemble it several hours in advance and just keep it in the fridge, but it gets a smidge less soggy if you wait to assemble it until shortly before serving time.
