You remember...when we were all little, it was always so much fun to get a dessert with lots of whipped cream and that cherry on top. Well who says we've outgrown that? But not just any cherry...so many today are so artificial and almost bitter. That's why I only use Star Fine Foods Cherries for my desserts. Here is a classic cream puff filled with decadent whipped cream and dusted ever so lightly with powdered sugar...and the perfect ending...a cherry on top!
Classic Cream Puff
1-cup water
1/2-cup butter
1-cup all-purpose flour
1/4-teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1/2-cup butter
1-cup all-purpose flour
1/4-teaspoon salt
4 eggs
powdered sugar for dusting
In a saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until mixture is smooth and shiny.
Drop by rounded teaspoonful about 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove puffs to wire racks. Immediately cut a slit in each for steam to escape. Cool. Split puffs and add filling.
Cream Filling
1 pint heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Beat cream and sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Fill cream puff as much as you want!
