Delicious Cream Puffs with Whipped Cream Filling

In a saucepan, combine cold water, butter, and a pinch of salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the butter melts completely.

Once melted, add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dough cool for a few minutes. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Using a pastry bag or spoon, drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared tray, leaving space in between each to allow for rising. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.

Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overmix.

Gradually fold in the cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Transfer the filling to a piping bag for easy filling of the cooled cream puffs.

Once the cream puffs are completely cooled, use a sharp knife to cut a small opening in the side of each puff.

Pipe the cream filling into each puff, filling them generously.

Serve immediately and enjoy these delightful treats with family and friends!
