Description

Delicious cream puffs filled with a rich custard mixture and topped with powdered sugar.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 (3 oz) box Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip, Thawed

Instructions

  1. Make the custard filling first so it has time to set.
  2. In a small bowl, beat together sweetened condensed milk and instant vanilla pudding mix. Continue beating for 5-10 minutes, until it has thickened.
  3. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  5. In the meantime, make the puffs by bringing water and butter to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. As soon as it reaches a boil, reduce to low heat and add flour. Stir to form a ball.
  6. Remove from heat and beat in 1 egg at a time until smooth. The mixture will return to a dough consistency.
  7. Drop 1 1/2 tbsp size scoops of the dough on the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool.
  10. Fold thawed Cool Whip into the custard mixture until well combined.
  11. Cut tops of puffs off and divide custard filling evenly between the bottom halves of the puffs using a 1 1/2 tbsp size scoop.
  12. Place top of the puff over the custard filling.
  13. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the custard has fully set before filling the puffs for the best texture.
  • Feel free to add any flavorings to the custard if desired.
