Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 box (3.4 oz) Vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2.5 cups Milk
- 2 cups Whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Once the butter has completely melted, reduce heat to low and stir in the flour all at once. Stir quickly until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. The mixture will be sticky and smooth.
Step 6
Spread the dough evenly into the greased pie dish, covering the bottom and slightly up the sides to form a crust.
Step 7
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely. The crust will sink slightly as it cools.
Step 8
While the crust is cooling, prepare the vanilla pudding filling. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
Step 9
Once the crust is fully cooled, spread the chilled pudding evenly into the crust.
Step 10
Top the pudding layer with whipped cream, spreading it evenly over the surface.
Step 11
If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Step 12
Refrigerate the pie for at least an hour before serving to allow it to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
