Easy Homemade Cream Puffs Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 0.5 cup butter
• 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 4 eggs eggs
• 1 pint heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add butter and stir until melted, then return to a boil. Add flour and salt, stirring vigorously until a ball forms. Remove from heat and incorporate eggs one at a time, stirring until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of dough, about 3 inches apart, onto a baking sheet.
3. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and bake for an additional 25 minutes. Remove the puffs, split them open, and remove any soft dough from the center. Turn off the oven, return the puffs, and let them dry in the cooling oven for 20 more minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
4. In a large bowl, whip cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla and sugar. Fill the cooled cream puffs with the whipped cream mixture.
5. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave or over low heat until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the cream puffs. Serve and enjoy!
