Cream Puffs with Vanilla Ice Cream and Coffee Caramel Sauce

ingredients

• 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup bread flour
• 6 large eggs


• Vanilla ice cream
• 1 jar Stonewall Kitchen Coffee Caramel Sauce

directions

1. Cut butter into pieces and put in a heavy saucepan with water. Bring to a boil. Once the butter is completely melted, add the flour all at once stirring with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring over high heat until mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball. (Approx. 2-3 minutes)
2. Transfer mixture to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Beat on high for 2 minutes. Add 2 eggs, mix and scrape down bowl. Add 2 more eggs, mix and scrape down bowl. Add the last 2 eggs, mix and scrape down the bowl and mix until smooth.
3. Spoon batter into a 14-inch pastry bag fitted with a #5 plain tip. Pipe 2-inch balls onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. OR scoop out 2-inch balls with spoon or scoop. You may substitute a lightly greased pan for the parchment paper if necessary.
4. Bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 40 minutes or until puffs are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
5. Cool puffs and cut off 1/3 of the top.
6. Scoop vanilla ice cream into each.
7. Place 3 puffs on a plate and drizzle with Stonewall Kitchen Coffee Caramel Sauce.
