Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup salted butter
1 cup water
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
2 ounces semisweet chocolate (Hershey's Special Dark would work)
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons hot water
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
3 cups milk
5.1 ounces instant vanilla pudding (1 large box)
8 ounces Cool Whip (thawed)
Hershey's chocolate syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a heavy saucepan, heat butter and water to boiling over medium-high heat.
  • Add the flour and reduce heat to low. Cook and stir until it forms a ball and pulls away from the pan.
  • Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg.
  • Spread in bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 35 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Melt the chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  • Stir in 1 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk well.
  • Stir in hot water, one tablespoon at a time, until icing is smooth and able to be drizzled.
  • Remove from heat, cool slightly, and drizzle over the bottom of the crust.
  • In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and ¼ cup of milk. Beat until smooth. Continue to add the milk in ¼ cup increments, mixing between each addition. This will help you not have cream cheese clumps.
  • Once all 3 cups are added in, add pudding mix and mix well until it starts to thicken.
  • Spread this mixture over the fudge-topped crust. Allow to refrigerate and set for 10 minutes.
  • Top with Cool Whip and then drizzle chocolate syrup over the top.
  • Refrigerate at least one hour before serving.
