Tips:

- For a crispier crust, pre-bake your puff pastry shells for 10 minutes before filling them. - To make sure your cream puffs are filled evenly, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip. - If you don't have a piping bag, you can also use a spoon to fill the cream puffs. Just be sure to fill them evenly so that they all rise evenly. - When baking your cream puffs, keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook. They should be golden brown and puffed up. - Let your cream puffs cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from becoming runny. - For a richer flavor, use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought. - You can also add other flavors to your cream puffs, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit. - Cream puffs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
