Chocolate Whipped Cream Puffs
Ingredients
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 450 degrees Fahrenheit or 230 degrees Celsius.
2
In a medium-sized saucepan, place water on the stovetop and bring it to a rolling boil. Next, add butter to the boiling water and stir constantly as it melts, then return the mixture to a boil. Immediately add flour and salt into the saucepan, stirring rapidly with a spoon until a dough forms.
3
Once the dough has formed, remove it from the heat source and begin adding eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
4
Using a spoon, drop small amounts of dough onto a baking sheet, leaving about 3 inches of space between each cookie.
5
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to its lowest setting, which is 325 degrees Fahrenheit or 165 degrees Celsius.
6
Continue baking the cookies for an additional 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
7
Remove the cookies from the oven and use a fork or knife to gently split them in half, then carefully remove any soft dough from the center.
8
Turn off the oven and let the cookies cool in it for 20 minutes, allowing them to dry out slightly.
9
Once the cookies have cooled, transfer them to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
10
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Add vanilla extract and sugar to the whipped cream, stirring until well combined.
11
Fill each cookie with a dollop of whipped cream by spooning it into the center.
12
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave or over low heat on a saucepan. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the cream-filled cookies.
13
Serve the cream puffs immediately, while they are still warm and the chocolate is still melted.
