These cream puffs were a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the recipe.

I'm not sure why, but my cream puffs didn't turn out as light and airy as I thought they would. Maybe I didn't beat the egg whites long enough.

These cream puffs are a great make-ahead dessert. You can make them a day or two in advance and store them in the refrigerator.
