Cream Puffs
This is my mom’s famous cream puff recipe and delectable filling. It is like no other filling you have had! I have many updated pictures but this was my first creampuff picture on the blog so I am keeping it! These are always a showstopper when they make their debut at a party. For many years my mom brought these to my classroom when I hosted an annual Mother’s Day Tea! These cream puffs have brought many smiles to many people. Unlike a typical pudding filling, these have a whipped cream base making them extra special. Add the powdered sugar just before serving so it doesn’t “melt” into the puffs while in the fridge. These can be assembled a few hours ahead of time and covered in the fridge. I hope you love these…let me know so I can tell my mom!
