Cream Puffs

Need a great dessert to take to a Christmas party this year? I made Cream Puffs today for our Ward Christmas Party tonight and thought I should share the recipe. I even took a picture to tempt you more ;) Everybody LOVES these! They're fairly easy and inexpensive too.

CREAM PUFFS

2 small packages pudding mix (I prefer French Vanilla and Devil's Food)
2 C heavy whipping cream
1 C milk
1/2 C butter
1 C water
1/4 t salt
1 C flour
4 eggs
Chocolate frosting

Divide heavy whipping cream and milk between two bowls, mix a package of pudding into each and refrigerate. Preheat oven to 425°. In large pot, bring water and butter to a rolling butter. Stir in flour and salt until mixture forms a ball (it doesn't really form a ball, it just kind of clumps together). Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time mixing well after each one. Drop by spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet (my air bake pan works best for me). Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and centers are dry (if you don't cook them long enough, they'll collapse). When cool, use a pastry bag to pipe pudding into shells. Drizzle with chocolate frosting.

Make sure to eat a couple before you take them to wherever you are going, because you won't be bringing any home! Although, I actually prefer them after they've sat in the fridge overnight and the flavors have mixed. So maybe you should make them the day before. ;)
