A heavenly treat that uses mascarpone cream for the filling! This dessert is decadent and great for any occasion!
One of my favorite treats growing up were the cream puffs my Mom made.
We didn't have them often, but when we did they didn't last long!
A few weeks ago I made Berries with Mascarpone Cream, and the cream tasted so similar to the cream my Mom used to put in her cream puffs.
My Mom's recipe takes awhile to make, so I decided to make the puffs and make the mascarpone cream for them instead.
These turned out fantastic! We had dessert in less than 45 minutes and they are easy to make!
The puff recipe came from a vintage Betty Crocker cookbook. I believe it may be in the newer ones too!
Timeless recipe for sure! Can't wait to try more recipes from this amazing cookbook!
Cream Puffs
by
Ingredients
- Cream Puffs:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup flour
- 4 eggs
- Mascarpone Cream:
- 1- 8 ounce container mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Cream Puffs:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Bring water and butter to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the flour.
Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball. Usually 1 minute.
Remove from heat. Beat in the eggs in one at a time until smooth.
Drop spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet about 3" apart. You should have 10-12 puffs. Bake for 30 minutes, until lightly browned.
Cool completely, then refrigerate until using, or fill with mascarpone cream.
Mascarpone Cream:
Whip the mascarpone in a medium sized mixing bowl with an electric mixer.
Add whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla. Whip until thickened.
Refrigerate until serving.

Every year our Girl Scouts had a Juliette Gordon Low Tea to celebrate our founder. One year I made 300 mini cream puffs filled with a vanilla cream and drizzled with a chocolate sauce. By the time I got to the cream puffs they had all been eaten. I haven't made them again. And that was many, many years ago. I'm inspired. Thanks for sharing.

I remember my mom making cream puffs but I have never made them myself! It's one of those things I forgot about! Love old cookbooks - they have some of the best recipes!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, my mom use to make these back in the 50's. She filled them with either egg custard, or rich homemade vanilla pudding. Sooooo good! Definitely making these one day. Thank you for sharing and bringing back, not only a yummy memory, but an old fashioned delicious goodie!!!!
ReplyDeleteClever to make these with the mascarpone cream. I'm inspired to try these again. My mother used to make them and the kids and I made them one year for Christmas presents.
