Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix cream, milk and pudding mix. Cover and refrigerate to set.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Bring water and butter to a rolling boil in large pot. Mix flour and salt and add to pot. Stir with wooden spoon until mixture forms a ball (mix quickly to avoid lumps).
  • Add to stand mixer with beater attachment. Pulse a few times to cool mixture slightly. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  • Drop by teaspoon onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake 30-35 minutes until golden brown and centers are dry.
  • Fill with pudding mixture using a pastry bag once puffs are cool. Add 1 tsp milk at a time to powdered sugar in small bowl. Mix until thick icing is created.
  • Add red food coloring and mix well.
  • Dust tops of cream puffs with powdered sugar. Drizzle icing on one half of each cream puff to create red and white stripes.
  • Assemble flag by lining up cream puffs on platter. Add small plate of blueberries in top left-hand corner.

Notes

Enjoy cream puffs later by placing them on a baking sheet and freezing overnight. Transfer the puffs and thaw before serving.
