STRAWBERRY CREAM PUFFS



Strawberry Cream Puffs image

Lots of people think cream puffs are difficult to make-but I've never had these fail me! By now, I can't remember whether I came across this recipe somewhere or made it up myself. I began cooking quite young, and strawberry Cream Puffs were always a favorite of my younger sister. She lives in California now...I make them whenever she visits! My husband's diversified farmer with an emphasis on farrow-to-finish hogs. We have three children (5 years, 3 years and 6 months).

STRAWBERRY CREAM PUFFS



Strawberry Cream Puffs image

I fell in love with cream puffs when I was in 4-H. These were always one of my favorite special desserts. They are rich so you will want to make them small.

Provided by Kathie Carr

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c water
1/2 c butter
1 c flour
4 eggs
1 quart fresh strawberries
2 c cool whip
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400. Heat water and butter to a rolling boil, stir in flour. Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball (about 1 minute). Remove from heat, mix in eggs all at once and stir rapidly until smooth.
  • 2. If you have an ice cream scoop that measures 1/8 cup use it to drop dough on to an ungreased baking sheet. (If you do not have a 1/8 cup scoop use a 1/4 cup measure and fill half full.) Bake 35-40 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
  • 3. Meanwhile clean and cut strawberries in small chunks. Stir into Cool Whip. Cut off tops of cream puffs and pull out any soft dough from the inside. Fill empty puffs with strawberry mixture. Replace tops and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For best results, use fresh strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely before using, and drain off any excess liquid.
  • To make the strawberry filling, you can either use a food processor or a blender. If using a food processor, pulse the strawberries until they are finely chopped. If using a blender, blend the strawberries until they are smooth.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner cut off.
  • To prevent the cream puffs from sticking to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Bake the cream puffs until they are golden brown and puffed up. If they are not browned enough, they will be soft and mushy. If they are over-baked, they will be hard and dry.
  • Let the cream puffs cool completely before filling them. If you fill them while they are still warm, the filling will melt and make the cream puffs soggy.

Conclusion:

Strawberry cream puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a light and airy choux pastry shell and a sweet and creamy strawberry filling, these cream puffs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give strawberry cream puffs a try!
