BONUS RECIPE: MY MOTHER’S FAMOUS CREAM PUFFS

This Cream Puff recipe is well-known in my family and among those to whom I’ve served it.

These cream puffs are unlike any other you’ve ever had. The secret to my mother’s famous cream puffs is her incredible filling. Some people try to pass off a filling of tasteless vanilla pudding as a filling. This time, no.

This filling has a pudding basis, but with the addition of whipped heavy cream, you can’t go wrong. It’s luscious, rich, and all a cream puff filling should be! The shells are also extremely light, giving them the ideal vehicle for all of that delicious cream!

You can even create and freeze the shells ahead of time! You can also create the cream ahead of time. Simply stuff them before serving. I’ve even stuffed them the night before and they’re still delicious the next day. I would simply hold off on the powdered sugar because it can go bad in the fridge.

Ingredients:
1 pound of butter (8 tablespoons)
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 eggs
1 cup flour
FAMOUS MOM’S FILLING:
1 quart thick cream
1 (3.4 OUNCE) PACKAGE vanilla pudding in a hurry
13 cups milk
MY MOTHER’S FAMOUS CREAM PUFFS:

Bring the butter, water, and vanilla extract to a boil in a saucepan.
Stir in the flour until it leaves the side of the saucepan and forms a ball.
Remove and allow to cool.
4 eggs, one at a time, until smooth.
Drop by T. onto cookie sheets coated with parchment paper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes at 400 degrees.
ALLOW TO COOL.
Cut in half and fill with Mom’s filling.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Filling: In a mixer, combine the cream, pudding powder, and milk until it reaches the consistency of whipped cream!
