Cream Puffs with Mom’s Celebrated Filling Recipe
Ingredients
For the Cream Puffs:
– 1 stick butter (½ cup)
– 1 cup water
– 1 teaspoon vanilla
– 1 cup flour
– 4 eggs
For Mom’s Celebrated Filling:
– ½ quart (2 cups) heavy cream
– 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding
– ⅓ cup milk
Instructions
Prepare the Cream Puffs:
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a saucepan, bring the water, butter, and vanilla to a boil.
-
Add the flour and stir constantly until the mixture leaves the sides of the pot and forms a ball.
-
Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
-
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment-lined cookie sheets (about 8 large puffs).
-
Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
-
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:
-
In a blender or mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, instant vanilla pudding, and milk until thick and fluffy.
Assemble the Cream Puffs:
-
Let the baked puffs cool completely.
-
Slice each puff in half horizontally.
-
Pipe or scoop the filling into the bottom half of each puff, then replace the top.
-
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra touch.
