Cream puffs are good anytime! They can be filled with custard, whipped cream, or pudding. I like to make the filling with 1/2 sugar free vanilla pudding mixed with 1/2 whipped cream which is unsweetened.
Easier than making individual cream puffs. I found this recipe on an egg carton from Aldi's!
Yummy dessert! I love the vanilla pudding as filling, but I think chocolate pudding filling is just as good.
Recipe for Egg and Cheese Puffs. Beat eggs and combine with other ingredients. Drop from a spoon into a skillet with hot fat and brown slowly over low heat, about 2 minutes on each side.
Bring the water and butter to a boil and remove from heat. Add the flour and mix until it turns to a ball. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and stir after each egg.
Cream butter, add sugar, flour, vanilla and nuts. Shape into small balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees F for 20 minutes. When cool, roll in powdered sugar.
