Want to add my thanks for the recipe, I also made it last week, delish! I made it in 9x13, and used 2% milk. So good. We had it for several days. Next time I will either cut everything in half or serve it for company. Thanks again.

Thanks for letting me know snickster, so glad it was a hit. That is exactly how I make it with the 2% milk and in the 9 X 13. It does keep well but I sure don't have to worry about it going to waste with Mr Crazy around.

Have a good day

I have to make cupcakes, among other things, for our church fellowship on Sunday. I was wondering how you think the cream cheese/Jello topping would work on cupcakes? Also, any suggestions on which flavor to use for the cake?

Hi house cat,

I don't know how the cream cheese/ pudding mixture would be on cupcakes. It might be too heavy for them as I think it is a heavier feeling mixture. Oops, just had a flash, how about inside the cupcake for a filling. Don't know if that would work either.

Do let me know if you give either of these a try.

I saw this last night and got a great idea for that filling!

House Cat,

I saw this in your cupcake thread and wanted one soooo bad. That looks so good. Are you thinking of using the filling for that. I know that they would be the 1st to go at your church get together.

I am going to do that next time I have friends over, using your filling recipe, but for church I think it will be too messy. We need grab and go items for that.

Your lucky friends. House cat you need to try my pumpkin bar recipes sometime. In my opinion they are as good or better than the cream puff dessert. Always a big hit too.

Hi house cat,

Sorry I just saw this, it was buried on page 4 since I hadn't been on here for a couple days. I had posted it on your thread about baking right after the Cream Puff Dessert recipe. Here it is again.

I got this recipe from a friend many years ago and it is wonderful. Mr. Crazy takes it to work and there is never any that comes home. There are also a few in the other departments that insist on having some when he brings it. I always double the frosting recipe. So very moist. I also shared this one on recipe swap several years ago.
