This dessert may sound fancy, but it is made with simple ingredients and it only takes a few quick steps before you are serving these to friends at a party! These Cream Puffs would be perfect to serve at a Bridal or Baby Shower.
There are a couple possibilities for the filling. You could use pudding (such as the filling I used for my Banana Cream Pie), a scoop of ice cream, or whipped cream. I took a container of cool whip and folded in some chopped fresh strawberries to make a fruity cream filling. The result was a light and fluffy dessert with a sweet taste of strawberries!
Yields: 10 small Cream Puffs (Serves 5: 2 cream puffs per person)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs
cream puff filling of choice
powdered sugar for sprinkling
In a saucepan bring Water and Butter to a boil.
Add Flour. Stir until smooth ball forms. Take off heat and let stand 5 minutes.
Add 1 egg at a time beating well after each. Combine until smooth.
Drop by rounded tablespoonful 3 inches apart onto a greased cookie sheet. (Just like you would when making chocolate chip cookies).
Bake 400* 30-35 minutes. Around 25 minutes poke a hole into the top of each cream puff so they will not collapse.
Remove from rack and allow to cool.
Slice the cream puffs in half. Place a scoop of filling onto the bottom of the cream puff. Place the top on the filling and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Sweet Dreams,
Cindy
