Ingredients for this Cream Puff Cake

For the Puff:

• 1 cup water
• ½ cup butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 eggs

For the Filling:

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 3 ½ cups cold milk
• 2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix

For the Topping:

• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• ¼ cup milk chocolate flavored topping
• ¼ cup caramel topping
• ⅓ cup slivered almonds

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Puff:
   • In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water and ½ cup butter to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of flour, cooking and stirring constantly until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan (about 1-2 minutes).
   • Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
   • Spoon or pipe the dough into 12-15 mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
   • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and puffed. Remove from oven and let cool.
3. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
   • Add the cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mix. Beat until combined and thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Assemble the Dessert:
   • Slice each puff in half horizontally. Spoon or pipe the chocolate pudding filling onto the bottom half of each puff.
   • Replace the top of the puff.
5. Prepare the Topping:
   • Spread a layer of thawed whipped topping on top of each Cream Puff Cake.
   • Drizzle with milk chocolate topping and caramel topping.
   • Sprinkle with slivered almonds.
6. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled Cream Puff Cake for at least 2 hours before serving for best results.
