Delicious Cream Puffs Filled with Vanilla Pudding recipe that tastes just like the bakery! Recipe makes one dozen cream puffs. 

Cream Puffs Recipe

Do you guys like Cream Puffs? What kind of question is that?  Do you like soft pastries with a vanilla pudding cream mixed inside?  Of course you do.   As a kid I remember Cream Puffs fondly from our weekly market trip we would take.  They would always be in a refrigerated glass display and I would always make a mess when eating.  Some things never change.

These puff pastries will bake extra light and fluffy.   They taste just like the bakery!  I love all the cracks that form when baking.

Cream Puffs Filled with Vanilla Pudding

Print

Ingredients

For the Vanilla Pudding Cream Filling

  • 1 package of instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk

For the pastry puffs

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Mix together pudding mix powder, heavy cream and milk in a sauce pan. Bring to a light boil and stir until it forms a pudding consistency. Take off burner, put into bowl, cover and put in refrigerator to set.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a large pot bring water and butter to a boil. Lower heat and stir in flour and salt. Stir until the mixture forms a dough ball. Take off heat.
  • Add eggs to the pot and mix with hand mixer until combined well.
  • Drop tablespoons of dough onto ungreased sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Take out of oven, let cool to touch, then slice each puff in half. Fill the bottom part of the puff with pudding mixture with a spoon or pastry bag. Put the other side of the puff on top.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

This makes 10-12 cream puffs.

    I was wondering if it will be a problem if i add the eggs while the dough is hot?

    You call for instant pudding. You usually don’t cook instant. I’m confused and don’t want to waste time.

      Hey Kes, the instructions are correct. You will mix together pudding mix powder, heavy cream and milk in a sauce pan. Enjoy the cream puffs – they’re delicious!

        Ok.. I’m just confused by the word you use “instant” I suppose. Box saying nstant the directions are not cooking and use mixer and cold milk, the box that says Cook n Serve you do cook.

          Buy the “instant” kind and ignore the directions on the box, instead follow the recipe directions.

    All I have is the vanilla pudding that needs to be cooked. Could I used that instead?

      Hey Peggy, are you talking about the boxed pudding mix? If so that’s exactly what you need. 🙂

    Oh my, these sound so good. I am obsessed with vanilla flavour so I’d be worried I would eat all of these to myself in a matter of minutes…

    These look so good! I’m just worried I’ll ‘accidentally’ eat all the pudding filling before it ever makes it into the cream puffs! Guess I’ll just have to make a double recipe haha.

    Cue collective sigh. These look divine, Pam! I am a sucker for anything custardy or creamy, particularly if said treat involves choux pastry. Awesome recipe. I’ll definitely be making these! xx
