Ingredients:
1 cup water 1/2 cup butter 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 4 eggs 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 2 cups milk 1 (5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix 1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate, chopped 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup confectioners' sugar 2 tablespoons boiling water
Directions:
1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). 2 For icing: In small saucepan, melt chocolate and 1 tablespoon butter over low heat. Remove from heat and, with electric mixer, beat in confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons hot water. Beat until smooth. Drizzle over filled eclairs. 3 For shells: In medium saucepan bring 1 cup water to a boil, stir in 1/2 cup butter and salt. Stir until melted. Add flour all at once and stir vigorously until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and beat in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Drop by tablespoons onto baking sheet. 4 Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely. 5 For filling: In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup of milk, a little at a time, into softened cream cheese, until creamy. Beat in remaining 1-1/2 cups milk and pudding mix. Stir until thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Cut tops off cooled pastry shells and fill. Replace tops. Makes 20 pieces
