Ingredients

FILLING:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1-1/4 cups cold milk
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
GLAZE:
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon butter
1-1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1-1/2 teaspoons milk
Directions:
●Cover a baking sheet with foil; grease the foil. Trace a 12-in. circle onto foil; set aside.
●In a large saucepan, bring the water, butter and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes.
●Add egg, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny.
●Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls along the inside of the circle (mounds should be slightly touching).
●Bake at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Lift foil and transfer to a wire rack. Immediately cut a slit in the side of each puff to allow steam to escape; cool.
●Carefully cut ring in half horizontally and set top aside; remove soft dough from inside with a fork. Transfer to a serving plate.
●In a bowl, whisk the milk, pudding mix and extract for 2 minutes. Chill for 5 minutes or until thickened. Fold in whipped cream. Spread over bottom of puff; replace top.
●In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and butter; stir until smooth. Stir in corn syrup and milk.
●Drizzle over puff. Refrigerate until serving..
