Serving Size : 15 P

1 cup water
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup flour
4 eggs
1 (1.5oz) pkg instant sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
2 3/4 cups skim milk
1 (8oz) pkg light cream cheese -- softened
1/2 cup light chocolate syrup

In a saucepan bring water and margarine to a boil, stirring constantly until margarine is melted. Reduce heat to low; add flour. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture leaves sides and forms a smooth ball. Remove from heat. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter becomes smooth. Spread into a greased and floured 13x9" baking pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 min. or until puffed and golden. Immediately remove from pan and cut in half horizontally. Cool completely. For filling, beat the pudding mix, milk, and cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Just before serving place bottom eclair layer on a serving platter; cover with filling. Replace top layer and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
