Strawberry Vanilla Cream Puffs


2 (3.5 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup all purpose flour
4 eggs

I made these with some pudding mixed into the cream. They are a more heavier cream puff than usual. I rather like the lighter filled ones but the filling was still delish I ate most of it on it's own. For a festive touch. I put a strawberry in the center of each one with a drizzle of powder sugar on top.

Mix together pudding, cream and milk and set aside in fridge. Preheat oven to 425. In large pot bring water and butter to boil. Stir in flour and salt until the mixture forms a ball. Transfer dough to large mixing bowl. Use a spoon or stand mixer to beat in one egg at a time. Mix well after each. Drop spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 20-25 mins. Centers should be dry. When shells are cool either split and fill them with the pudding mixture or use pastry bag to fill shells. I prefer a pastry bag.
