Quick and Easy - Cream Puffs

July 14, 2011

On the farm, it is a mad scramble to be sure that everything is ready for the next three days of heat. We want to keep out of the hot sun, so all the extra weeding and berry picking had to be done before it was too uncomfortable to be out there. The kids found a bowl of berries, not enough to bother freezing. I decided to make a dessert to use up what berries they did find. This led to cream puffs!

Cream puffs seem fancy, but they are really easy to make. I filled ours with strawberries and topped everything with whipped cream. Everyone felt like they were justly rewarded for all the hard work. This is one of those foods that can make a meal feel really special, without much extra work. Check out these recipes for cream puffs from Foodista readers!
