Hot Fudge Cream Puff Ring

Hot Fudge Cream Puff Ring

Hot fudge sundaes meet cream puffs in this outrageous dessert! To make the “ring” shape, I traced a plate onto parchment paper. Then, I scooped each puff along the circle as a guide. Once baked, they will attach together. Let it cool, slice off the tops very carefully and fill them up with delicious pastry cream. If your ring detaches while transferring to a cake plate, that’s ok! Just sit them close together and no one will know. This Hot Fudge Cream Puff Ring needs to be on your dessert table for the next holiday!
