FAQ

1. Why did my crust puff up weirdly?
That’s normal! The choux pastry is supposed to bubble and form irregular shapes—it will settle after cooling.

2. Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?
Yes! Beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream + 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

3. Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! It actually tastes better the next day as the flavors meld.

4. What’s the best way to cut this cake?
Use a sharp knife and wipe clean between slices for perfect layers.

5. Can I use a different pudding flavor?
Yes! Try chocolate, butterscotch, or banana pudding for a twist.
