20-Minute Snowflake Cream Puffs

Indulge in these delightful Snowflake Cream Puffs, featuring flaky puff pastry filled with real whipped cream. Perfect for festive gatherings or a quick dessert fix, these cream puffs are both elegant and easy to make.

Ingredients:

- 1 box of puff pastry sheets (such as Pepperidge Farm)
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup confectioners’ (powdered) sugar
- Additional confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheets. Using a snowflake-shaped cookie cutter (or any desired shape), cut out shapes from the dough. Place the cutouts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Re-roll the scraps to cut out additional shapes if needed.
3. Bake: Bake the puff pastry shapes in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent over-browning.
4. Cool and Slice: Allow the baked pastries to cool for 1-2 minutes. Then, carefully slice them in half horizontally using a serrated knife to create a top and bottom half.
5. Prepare Whipped Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes until soft peaks form and the mixture holds its shape.
6. Fill Pastries: Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a spoon), fill the bottom halves of the puff pastries with the whipped cream. Place the top halves over the filled bottoms to create a sandwich.
7. Dust and Serve: Lightly dust the assembled cream puffs with additional confectioners’ sugar for a festive touch. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
