Ensure the butter is completely melted and the water is at a rolling boil before adding the flour for the best pastry texture.
Cool the dough slightly before adding the eggs to prevent them from cooking.
Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the pastry to deflate.
For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and whole milk.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

    I had some leftover pastry cream, so I used that instead of the pudding mix. It was divine!

  • Tatum Gulgowski

    I made this for my husband's birthday, and he said it was the best cake he's ever had!

  • Gilberto Franecki

    My crust didn't puff up as much as I expected, but it still tasted great. I think I needed to make sure my oven was hot enough.

  • Charlie Smitham

    Next time I will try adding a pinch of salt to the dough to balance the sweetness.

  • Skye Reynolds

    I substituted sugar-free pudding mix to cut down on the sugar, and it worked perfectly.

  • Raegan Koch

    This is my go-to dessert for potlucks now. It's always a hit!

  • Easton Orn

    This recipe is amazing! It's easier than I thought it would be, and everyone loved it.

  • Claud Hand

    Be sure to let the crust cool completely before adding the filling; otherwise, it will get soggy.

  • Mackenzie Predovic

    The cream cheese filling is so good! I might add a layer of fresh fruit next time.
