1 cup water
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
4 eggs
1 pint heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 box instant vanilla pudding
1 jar hot fudge (i use smucker's)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring water and butter to a boil in medium saucepan. Add flour stir with wooden spoon until it forms a sticky ball. Remove from heat beat in eggs one at a time with electric mixer, this will make your pastry. Spoon egg/flour mixture onto a pizza pan/cookie sheet in a ring (like an O ). Bake at 400 for at least 45-50 minutes. Do not underbake. It should be a deep golden brown. Cool. Split top from bottom half. Beat heavy cream with vanilla and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
