STRAWBERRY CREAM PUFFS
Lots of people think cream puffs are difficult to make-but I've never had these fail me! By now, I can't remember whether I came across this recipe somewhere or made it up myself. I began cooking quite young, and strawberry Cream Puffs were always a favorite of my younger sister. She lives in California now...I make them whenever she visits! My husband's diversified farmer with an emphasis on farrow-to-finish hogs. We have three children (5 years, 3 years and 6 months).

CHOCOLATE CREAM PUFFS
Chocolate puffs with chocolate cream filling are a favorite with this family. They aren't difficult to make and most of the required time is hands off. This was my mother's recipe and she made it once a year, usually at Christmas. I hope that you enjoy these as much as we do!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Chill a large bowl in the freezer.
- Add the melted chocolate to a small piping bag or zip-top bag and cut ⅛ inch (3 mm) off the tip of the bag.

- Make the puffs: in a medium pot, bring the butter, water, milk, sugar, and salt to a boil over high heat.
- Once the liquid begins to boil, remove the pot from the heat and immediately add the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the liquid is absorbed and the mixture begins to form a ball.
- Return the pot to the heat and cook for another 30 seconds to remove excess moisture. Remove the pot from the heat. Working quickly, add the eggs one at a time, stirring until each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.

- Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C), and continue to bake for 20 minutes more, until golden brown.
- Transfer the puffs to a wire rack and cool until able to handle. Cut the tops off of the puffs with a serrated knife. Let cool completely.

Everyone in my family loves to cook and this recipe came from a collection of family recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation. These cream puffs were a favorite for holidays, but good anytime. It's a nice departure from strawberry shortcake and the best part is that you can make the shells ahead of time and freeze them. -Suzette Jury, Keene, California

Tips:
- For the best results, make sure your puff pastry is cold before you start working with it. This will help prevent it from becoming too sticky or tearing.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the puff pastry.
- Be careful not to overfill the cream puffs. If they're too full, they'll burst open in the oven.
- Bake the cream puffs until they're golden brown and puffed up. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the cream puffs cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting.
- For the chocolate ganache, use a good quality dark chocolate. This will give the ganache a rich and decadent flavor.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a plastic sandwich bag with the corner cut off to fill the cream puffs.
- Garnish the cream puffs with fresh strawberries and mint leaves before serving.
Conclusion:
These chocolate strawberry cream puffs are a delicious and elegant dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these cream puffs a try!
