Amarena Cherry Cream Puffs
I first found Amarena cherries at Trader Joes and just had to try them! Have you had them before? If you like almond flavors then you will enjoy these special cherries. You can also find them on Amazon, as well. I used them in a traditional cream puff filled with homemade whipped cream. Of course, you can cheat and use cool whip but if you have time, whip up the real stuff. Here is an easy Whipped Cream Recipe! It’s perfect stuffed inside of these Amarena Cherry Cream Puffs!
