I didn't see anything quite like it on here so decided to post it even though I haven't tried it yet. But it looks super easy and yummy and I can't wait to try it. Note: the recipe calls for a cool time and a stand time of 1 hour each. Ingredients:
nonstick cooking spray |
1/2 cup water |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
2 eggs |
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix (4 serving size) |
2 cups nonfat milk |
1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract |
sifted powdered sugar |
fresh strawberries (optional) |
Directions:
1. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, combine water and butter, bring to boiling.
3. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously until mixture forms a ball.
4. Remove from heat.
5. Cool for 10 minutes.
6. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each addition.
7. Drop mixture in 8 mounds, 3 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake in a 400 degree F oven about 30 minutes or until golden.
9. Transfer cream puffs to a wire rack; cool.
10. Cut tops from cream puffs; remove soft dough from inside.
11. Cool completely on a wire rack.
12. Meanwhile, for filling, prepare pudding mix according to package directions using the nonfat milk.
13. Stir in peppermint extract.
14. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill.
15. To serve, spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling into the bottom half of each cream puff.
16. Replace tops.
17. Sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar.
18. If desired, garnish with fresh strawberries.
