These cream puffs are quick to prepare and very little work. Once you hear the rave reviews from your guests, you will definitely make them again!
For pastry puff...
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In medium sauce pan add water and butter. Bring to an easy boil and make sure butter is completely melted. Then reduce heat to very low and whisk in the flour. The texture will become like a thick paste. Cook and stir for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat. In another bowl, beat 4 eggs. Add dough mixture to the beaten eggs a little bit at a time while you continue to mix. You do not want your eggs to cook before you mix them into the dough. When all of the dough is added and mixed well with the eggs, use a small ice-cream scoop or a teaspoon to drop the mixture onto an ungreased cookie sheet. I use parchment paper and it worked well. These should look like little mounds on the sheet, not balls. The mix is still warm, so they drop a bit from the ice-cream scoop form. You can make these larger or smaller in size, but your cooking time will depend on the size. Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool to room temp.
For filling...
Mix 1box instant pudding and 1 cup of milk. Let sit until the pudding is firm and then fold in 2 cups of the whipped topping.
Slice puffs in half. The inside of the puff will look moist...almost not fully cooked. Remove any extra dough in order to have more filling ;). Add a heaping spoonful of the pudding mix to one half of the puff and top with the other half. Enjoy!
