Chocolate Cream Puffs With Strawberry Truffle Filling - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Puffs
1 cup butter
2 cups boiling water
2 cups flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 eggs
Filling
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup strawberry jam
16 ounces cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) carton frozen whipped topping

Preparation

Grease a baking sheet and preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter in the boiling water.
Add flour, cocoa, sugar and salt while stirring vigorously.
Cook until mixture forms a ball that won't separate.
Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until smooth.
Drop about 1/4 cup batter for each puff on a greased baking sheet and space puffs about 3 inches apart.
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips in top of a double boiler.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and jam until smooth.
Beat in melted chocolate then stir in whipped topping.
When puffs have been removed from oven, allow them to cool for a few minutes, then split them in half and remove any soft dough inside.
Cool completely then fill with cream cheese mixture.
