Cream Puffs with Chocolate Glaze

Cream Puffs with Chocolate Glaze
Growing up, I had lots of Cream Puffs and Cream Cannolies and always wondered, how do they make these soft cream pillows which melt in mouth? Once I started cooking and learning new cooking methods and techniques, these Cream Puffs were in my top list.

Cream Puffs dough is very similar to Mexican Churus. Dough is easy to make too, just be vary of oven temperature, always preheat oven or these puffs will fall flat. Also, let puffs cool a bit before you fill in the sweet cream. Enjoy!!
