These fabulous cream puffs are perfect with a cup of tea. Or a freshly brewed coffee if you are me. I love how these cream puffs are light and airy. And they are fun to make not to mention easy and quick. A simple treat that looks like royalty and tastes magnificent! Whenever I have guests, I serve them these homemade cream puffs and they never fail to compliment how pretty and perfectly sweet this treat is. And the secret to all of these is the heavenly filling. A three-ingredient filling that makes these cream puffs stand out among the rest. The rich and decadent filling of these cream puffs is what makes this treat famous. These treats you can make a day ahead. Which is excellent if you have guests coming over early. Drizzle these puffs with chocolate or serve as is. No matter what, this is going to be awesome!
