What are Cream Puffs?
Cream puffs are a puffed dough filled with some type of a cream. The pastry is baked and then, after the pastry puffs have cooled, they are filled with cream. Cream puffs have a round shape, but they are closely related to profiteroles, which use the same pastry but are filled with ice cream, or éclairs, which have a long thin shape and are typically filled with custard and topped with chocolate.
