Crust:
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
Filling:
• 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (5.1 ounce) box vanilla instant pudding
• 3 cups milk
Topping:
• 1 (8 oz) container cool whip (I used about 1/2 of a container for just a thin layer)
• chocolate syrup or homemade chocolate sauce (I made the chocolate recipe from Strawberry Cream Pie and drizzled that on top)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400. Lightly grease a 9"X13" glass baking pan. CRUST: In a medium saucepan, melt butter in water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in flour. Mix in one egg at a time, mixing completely before adding another egg. Spread mixture into pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly. Mixture will be very wet. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. The crust will bubble up. FILLING: Make vanilla pudding with pudding mix and the milk. Beat for 3 minutes and then put in fridge to set. In separate bowl, whip the cream cheese. Once pudding is thick/set, then slowly add it to the cream cheese, mixing until there are no lumps. Let cool in fridge. When the crust is completely cooled, pour filling in. Top with layer of cool whip. Serve with a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
