Ingredients
Pastry Shell:
-
1 cup water
-
½ cup butter
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
4 eggs
Filling:
-
2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
-
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
-
2 cups cold milk
Chocolate Ganache:
-
1 cup bittersweet chocolate, chopped
-
1 cup heavy cream
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place a mixing bowl in the freezer to chill.
-
Make pastry shell: Combine water, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and stir in flour. Cook and stir until mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl and beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Spread dough evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. (The dough will rise and make a boat shape, but should drop as it cools.) Cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Make filling: Remove the chilled mixing bowl from the freezer and pour in cold whipping cream. Whip until cream thickens, about 1 minute. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Continue to whip until cream forms stiff peaks. Place whipped cream in the refrigerator to keep chilled.
-
Pour pudding mixes and milk into a separate mixing bowl and stir until creamy. Fold in whipped cream. Spread filling over cooled crust and refrigerate.
-
Make ganache: Place chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Bring cream almost to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour hot cream over chocolate; let sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth. Let cool until ganache is thickened, about 10 minutes.
-
Pour ganache over cream filling, spreading to cover the entire surface. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
