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! You may also love Amarena Cherry Cream Puffs and Hot Fudge Chocolate Mousse Cream Puffs.

    Can you use regular vanilla pudding and just let it cool?

      I believe the reason you use instant pudding is because it thinkens the cream and keeps it stable longer.

    These are FANTASTIC!!! Mom, my sister, and I still make them to this day.

    We also make a chocolate glaze to put on the top. Just the perfect thing with the smooth cream, and light pate-choux.

    GREAT post!!
