  • 12

Ingredients

  • FILLING
  • 2 (3.5 oz.) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • PUFFS
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 eggs
  • Confectioner's sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400*.

Filling:
Mix the first 3 ingredients. Cover and refrigerate to set. (I usually
make this the night before.)

Puff:
Heat water and butter to a rolling boil in a saucepan.
Reduce heat and quickly stir in the flour. (Use a wooden spoon for
easier
mixing.)
Stir vigorously over low heat until the mixture forms a ball, about 1
minute.
Remove from heat.
Beat in the eggs, all at once and continue beating until smooth.
Drop the dough by scant 1/4 cupfuls 3 inches apart onto an ungreased
baking
sheet.
Bake 35-40 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Cool on a wire rack.
Cut off the tops and fill puffs with filling.
Dust with confectioner's sugar.
