50 20 70

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 2/3 cup Nutella
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts or pecans, toasted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons baking cocoa
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs
  • Confectioners' sugar

Directions

  • For filling, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and 2 tablespoons sugar until smooth. Gradually beat in Nutella and cream until blended. Stir in nuts. Cover and refrigerate.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa and remaining sugar. In a large saucepan, bring water, butter and salt to a boil. Add flour mixture all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny.
  • Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until set and browned. Remove to wire racks. Immediately split puffs open; remove and discard soft dough from inside. Cool completely.
  • Spoon filling into cream puffs; replace tops. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 2 dozen.
