• 1 cup water
• 2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cup butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix together vanilla instant pudding mix, cream and milk. Cover and refrigerate to set.

Step 3

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Centers should be dry.

Step 4

When the shells are cool, either split and fill them with the pudding mixture, or use a pastry bag to pipe the pudding into the shells.

Step 5

In a large pot, bring water and butter to a rolling boil.

Step 6

Stir in flour and salt until the mixture forms a ball.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon or stand mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.

Step 8

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
