Strawberry Cream Puff Dessert image

Everyone in my family loves to cook and this recipe came from a collection of family recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation. These cream puffs were a favorite for holidays, but good anytime. It's a nice departure from strawberry shortcake and the best part is that you can make the shells ahead of time and freeze them. -Suzette Jury, Keene, California

I had a bit of trouble getting the cream puffs to rise properly, but they still tasted good. I think I'll need to practice a bit more before I try making them again.

The cream puffs were good, but I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different filling. The strawberry filling was a bit too tart for my taste.
