These creampuffs take just 10 minutes hands on time and are perfect for those who want a little something sweet but not too sweet.   These creampuffs are perfect for entertaining.  They can be made into bite-size treats.  Make as few or many as you want!

If I’m not serving the creampuffs immediately, I prep them by making and refrigerating the cream and baking the puffs.  I allow them to slightly cool before filling them with cream, but if I’m serving later, I wait to fill them until just before we’re ready to enjoy.  

You can serve them with strawberries, raspberries, a dusting of powdered sugar or even a drizzle of chocolate sauce – you truly cannot go wrong! The flaky pastry pairs perfectly with the slightly sweet cream.

1. Roll out your puff pastry. 

   

2. Cut into squares. 

   

3. Bake. 

   

4. Meanwhile make cream.

   

5. Fill with cream. {I keep disposable pastry bags on hand because, let’s face it, I bake a lot more often than I should, but you can also cut the tip of a ziplock bag for pretty puffs or drop a dollop by the spoonful. Just try to resist licking the spoon, alright?}

   

6. Enjoy! 

   

I hope you enjoy these sweet cream puffs!
