Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 pints Vanilla ice cream (or any flavor of choice)
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 0.5 cup Chocolate sauce
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the dough cool for about 5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and shiny.
Spoon or pipe the dough into 2-inch mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and dry to the touch.
Remove the cream puffs from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, slice the cream puffs in half horizontally and remove any soft dough from the inside, if necessary.
Fill each cream puff with a scoop of ice cream and place the top half back on.
Drizzle generously with chocolate sauce, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with powdered sugar, chopped nuts, or sprinkles if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cream Puff Sundaes!
