TOTAL TIME

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick baking spray.

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the water and butter to a boil.

Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour and salt, mixing until it forms a dough ball.

Crack eggs into a large bowl, one at a time, adding them to the dough and mixing well after each addition until smooth.

Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan and press it evenly into the bottom with your fingers.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the crust rises and is light golden brown. Then, let it cool completely.

CUSTARD

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, milk, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat until it thickens and just begins to boil, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then slowly add in the hot milk mixture, whisking until it's well incorporated.

Stir in the grated orange zest and let the custard cool.

Spread the cooled custard over the completely cooled crust.

TOPPING

Distribute the whipped topping over the custard layer.

Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, preferably overnight, before serving to ensure the best flavor.
