Ingredients

For the Cream Puffs:

– 1 stick butter (½ cup)
– 1 cup water

Instructions

Prepare the Cream Puffs:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. In a saucepan, bring the water, butter, and vanilla to a boil.

3. Add the flour and stir constantly until the mixture leaves the sides of the pot and forms a ball.

4. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

5. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

6. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment-lined cookie sheets (about 8 large puffs).

7. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

8. Optional: After baking, poke each puff with a toothpick and return them to the oven with the door slightly open to cool. This helps prevent deflating.

Prepare the Filling:

1. In a blender or mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, instant vanilla pudding, and milk until thick and fluffy.

Assemble the Cream Puffs:

1. Let the baked puffs cool completely.

2. Slice each puff in half horizontally.

3. Pipe or scoop the filling into the bottom half of each puff, then replace the top.

4. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra touch.
