Cream Puffs with Cherries and Mascarpone Whipped Cream! It doesn’t get better than this! This is one special whipped cream, too. Try not to eat it alllll out of the bowl and save some for your puffs! I dusted the tops with a bit of powdered sugar, too! Feel free to mix up the fruit filling. I bet strawberries or blueberries would be fabulous, too! Maybe even both! I could see the red and blue on the 4th of July as a delicious treat!

What can u use to flavor the cream

I I can’t find the cheese, could these be made using the whipped cream and pudding mix instead or would that be too thin to hold the cherry mixture? Thanks.

Kay says
If I can not use Mascarpone cheese, can I mix the whipped cream with instant vanilla pudding instead or would this be thick enough to hold the cherry mixture?
Debbie says
Mascarpone cheese has a wonderful flavor.
