Cream Puffs are a delightful celebratory treat just begging to be filled with whatever creamy, sweet fillings strike your fancy. Our version of the famous European pâte à choux recipe involves no difficult piping and no added sugar. Try loading the puffs with ice cream and topping with Chocolate Sauce (see index) for a low-sugar take on the famous profiterole!

Makes 10 puffs.

Difficulty: Hard

Baking time: 30 to 35 minutes

Ingredients

pudding, whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix together all-purpose flour and Stevita in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Combine butter, water, and salt in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil.
  3. While stirring vigorously, add flour mixture to boiling liquid. Cook, stirring constantly, until a ball forms; remove the dough from the heat and cool slightly.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating in each egg until fully combined with a wooden spoon. Continue to beat until the dough becomes smooth.
  5. Grease a cookie sheet, then drop heaped tablespoons of batter 3 inches apart onto the sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden.
  6. Remove the puffs and let cool. Cut the puffs in half, removing any excess dough, and stuff with your favorite filling. Sift Powdered Sugar Replacement over tops before serving, if desired.
