Pampered Chef - Heart of the Home

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup flour
4 eggs
8 ounces cream cheese -- softened
2 packages vanilla instant pudding mix -- 4 ounce size
2 cups milk
12 ounces frozen whipped topping -- thawed
1/4 cup chocolate syrup -- optional

Preheat the oven to 350. Bring the water and butter to a boil in a 2 quart saucepan, stirring occasionally. Stir in the flour. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Spread the batter in a greased 10x15 inch baking pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Beat the cream cheese in a mixer bowl until smooth, scraping the bowl occasionally. Add the pudding mix and milk. Beat until blended. Spread over the baked layer. Top with the whipped topping. Chill covered in the refrigerator. Drizzle with the chocolate syrup. Garnish with grated chocolate.
