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).

EASY MINI STRAWBERRY CREAM PUFFS



Easy Mini Strawberry Cream Puffs image

A perfect Valentine's Day treat! You'll need to put a bit of muscle into beating the dough, but just think of it as pre-burning calories. Once you taste these, it's really hard to stop at one. Delicious! Also great filled with ice cream and dipped in chocolate. These freeze well.

Categories     Pastries

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup water
¼ cup unsalted butter
1 pinch salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
½ cup cold whipping cream
1 teaspoon white sugar
12 large strawberries, hulled
1 tablespoon powdered sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a mixing bowl in the freezer.
  • Combine water, butter, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
  • Remove from the heat and immediately add flour; quickly beat in the flour with a wooden spoon, alternating between pressing on the dough and beating it quickly. Continue until dough has formed a ball and no longer sticks to the side of the pan.
  • Add 1 egg, and using the same technique above, beat it in until dough has reached a smooth consistency. Repeat with the second egg. Beat until dough begins to break into strands, about 5 more minutes.
  • Divide dough into 12 pieces. Round each piece and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puffed up and browned, about 20 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, pour cold cream into the chilled mixing bowl. Add white sugar and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Slice across the tops of the cooled cream puffs just enough to open; they will be hollow inside. Put a heaping tablespoon whipped cream in the top and bottom cavities. Put a strawberry in the middle and close the two halves. Set on a plate and dust with powdered sugar.
