Ingredients
Cream Puff Dough
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup flour
- 4 large eggs
Homemade Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (granulated por powdered sugar)
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat water and butter to a rapid boil in a saucepan over medium heat to medium-high heat.
- Add flour and reduce heat to low. Stir constantly, using a wooden spoon, for 1 minute or until a soft dough forms.
- Remove pan from heat. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat with a spoon until completely mixed in before adding each additional egg. It doesn't seem like the eggs will incorporate, but they WILL. Just be patient!
- Scoop balls of dough (I use a medium cookie scoop) and place onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake in oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Let cool for 30 minutes on cooling racks (room temperature).
- While cream puffs cool, make whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl, by beat heavy whipping cream and sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Slice off the tip of each cream puff and gently remove the insides of each cream puff.
- Fill a pastry bag or ziploc bag with cream mixture and pipe filling into each cream puff. Replace tops.
- Store cream puffs in refrigerator.
