Lemon Cream Puffs image

This is a recipe I found on the Taste of Home website. I used it as part of my meal prep final in one of my Foods classes. I love my lemon desserts to have some bite to them, so I added zest, but if you prefer it a little tamer simply leave it out!

These cream puffs were a bit too sweet for my taste. The lemon cream filling was overpowering and the shells were too sugary. I think I would have enjoyed them more if they were less sweet.

These lemon cream puffs were a disappointment. The shells were tough and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making these again.
