Strawberries are my favorite! So I love to make anything that calls for strawberries. These were really good and simple to make.
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup flour
4 eggs
FILLING:
2 pints strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup sugar, divided
2 cups heavy whipping cream**
Optinal:
Confectioners' sugar
Additional sliced strawberries
mint leaves
In a saucepan, bring water, butter, sugar and salt to boil. Add flour all at once, stir until forms a ball. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shinny.
Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in apart on baking sheet (make 10). Bake 400 degrees for 35 minutes until golden brown. Cool
For filling, combine berries and 1/4 cup sugar. Chill 3 minutes
Beat cream and remaining sugar until stiff. Just before serving, cut tops off puffs. Combine berries and cream mixture. Fill cream puffs and replace tops. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and top with additional berries and mint leaves if you want.
**I only do half the cream it says. I think 2 cups makes too much.
Enjoy!!

I think we'll do this for our FHE dessert tonight!!
I'm salivating right now.... =) yum!
I made these for FHE as I said, and YUM! Super easy! I actually cheated on the cream part and filled them with pudding because we didn't have any whipping cream. But still delish!
