We entertain family and friends often, and this dessert is always a hit. Use whatever flavor ice cream you prefer. Ingredients:
1 cup water |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 eggs |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
3 tablespoons baking cocoa |
2 to 3 tablespoons boiling water |
1 pint fudge ripple, chocolate or vanilla ice cream |
whipped cream in a can |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring the water, butter, sugar and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once; 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 smooth and shiny.
2. Drop batter by heaping teaspoonfuls 1 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, dry and firm to the touch. Remove to wire racks. Immediately split puffs open; remove tops and set aside. Discard soft dough from inside. Cool puffs.
3. For glaze, in a bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, cocoa and boiling water; stir until smooth. Fill each puff with a small scoop of ice cream; replace tops. Drizzle with glaze. Place three or four puffs in each dessert dish; pipe whipped cream around puffs to resemble a cloud. Serve immediately. Yield: 12-16 servings.
