French Cream Puffs With Whipped Cream & Vanilla Filling
These French Cream Puffs are a classic dessert that combines the elegance of French cuisine with the comforting flavors of home. Let’s dive into how you can make these delicious treats!

Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, and salt. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball of dough.
- Let the dough cool slightly for about 5 minutes, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be smooth and glossy.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, drop small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and have risen beautifully. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
- While the puffs are cooling, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Once the puffs are cool, carefully cut a small slit in the side of each puff and fill them with the whipped cream using a piping bag.
- Dust the filled cream puffs with additional powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy these delightful French cream puffs at your next gathering, or simply treat yourself to a little indulgence. Their delicate flavor and mouthwatering filling will make them an instant favorite!
