How fabulous is this treat? Oh yes. Its amazing. Want to make it? Keep reading!
Ingredients:
Banana Pastry Cream
  • 2 packages Dream Whip
  • 2 boxes instant banna pudding mix
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • milk as instructed. (2 3/4 cup)
Pastry Shell:
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, cut into 9 squares
  • dusted with cinnamon & sugar
Chocolate topping, and filling:
  • 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
About 2 hours ahead of time, mix up dream whip, milk, pudding and vanilla according to the Dream Pie recipe found on the box of Dream Whip. Put mixture into gallon zip top bag, (we kept the bag in a pre-chilled bowl) and chill for at least 40 minutes, about 2 hours would be better.

Thaw one sheet puff pastry. Whatever baking sheet you use, use parchment paper or greased pan so they come off easily. Dust entirely with cinnamon & sugar mixture, cut into 9 squares. *pizza cutter works great! Bake at 400* for 15 minutes, until golden brown as instructed. Allow the squares to cool.

While its cooling, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a glass bowl, in the microwave, heat for 2 minutes at half power. Stir chocolate til completely smooth, keep warm til done using it.

When pastry squares are cool, slice in half, paint both inside halves with chocolate. Retrieve bag of pastry cream, push whole mixture to one corner, and snip off corner of bag. Then pipe two half-inch thick layers of pastry cream as shown.
Make squares into sandwiches, drizzle remaining chocolate all over the top of squares, dust with powdered sugar.
Try not to eat them all...maybe share with neighbors! *grin!
