Cream Puff Monsters Recipe
  • Prep: 40 min. + chilling Bake: 25 min. + cooling
  • Yield: 24 Servings
40 25 65

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • Yellow, red, blue and green food coloring
  • 1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
  • Sprinkles, small candies and slivered almonds

Directions

  • Combine flour, sugar and cocoa; set aside. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring water and butter to a boil; reduce heat to low. Add flour mixture all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat until smooth. Cover baking sheets with foil; grease foil. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls at least 2 in. apart onto baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Lift foil and transfer to a wire rack. Immediately cut a slit in each puff to allow steam to escape; cool. Beat pudding mix and milk according to package directions; chill. When puffs are cool; split and remove soft dough from inside. Spoon pudding into puffs; replace tops. Following food coloring package directions, combine red and yellow to make orange, and red and blue to make purple. Divide frosting among three microwave-safe bowls; tint with orange, purple and green food coloring. Microwave frosting until thin (not runny). Spoon one or more colors onto puffs. Add sprinkles and candy for eyes; use almonds for teeth or whiskers. Chill. Yield: 2 dozen.
