Strawberry Cream Puff Dessert image

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

These cream puffs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cream puffs didn't turn out as light and airy as I had hoped. They were still tasty, but I was a little disappointed.
