Wow Mom’s Famous Cream Puffs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 eggs
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Filling Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1/2 cup milk

Directions:

1. Boil the Butter, Water, and Vanilla:
   • In a saucepan, bring the water, butter, and vanilla extract to a boil over medium heat.
2. Add the Flour:
   • Once boiling, add the flour all at once and stir continuously until the mixture leaves the sides of the pot and forms a ball.
3. Cool the Mixture:
   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
4. Beat in the Eggs:
   • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth. The mixture should be thick and glossy.
5. Drop and Bake:
   • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
   • Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets.
   • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
   • Let the cream puffs cool completely on a wire rack.
6. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a mixer, beat the heavy cream, instant vanilla pudding mix, and milk until thick and creamy, resembling whipped cream.
7. Assemble the Cream Puffs:
   • Slice each cooled cream puff in half horizontally.
   • Pipe or scoop Mom’s filling onto the bottom half of each puff.
   • Place the top half of the puff over the filling.
   • Dust the assembled cream puffs with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Serve the cream puffs as a delightful dessert or sweet snack.

Tips:

• Ensure the water, butter, and vanilla mixture comes to a full boil before adding the flour to achieve the right consistency.
• Use a piping bag or spoon to fill the cream puffs with Mom’s delicious filling.
• Dust the cream puffs with powdered sugar just before serving for an added touch of sweetness.
