Ingredients

Cream Puffs

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 4 eggs
  • Powdered sugar

Eggnog Cream

  • 1 package (4-serving size) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 cups whipping (heavy) cream

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. In 2 1/2-quart saucepan, heat water and butter to rolling boil. Stir in flour. Stir vigorously over low heat about 1 minute or until mixture forms a ball; remove from heat. Beat in eggs, all at once; continue beating until smooth.
  • 2
    Drop dough by scant 1/4 cupfuls about 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool away from draft.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat all Eggnog Cream ingredients except cream with electric mixer on low speed 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Add cream. Beat on high speed 1 to 2 minutes or until soft peaks form.
  • 4
    Cut off tops of cooled puffs; pull out any soft dough. Fill puffs with Eggnog Cream; replace tops. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately. Store covered in refrigerator.

  • Fill the cream puffs, cover and refrigerate up to 3 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.
  • Instead of sprinkling the cream puffs with powdered sugar, brush the tops with light corn syrup and sprinkle with colored sugar or nonpareils.
