Pumpkin Cream Puffs Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pumpkin Cream Puffs Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C).

2. Step 2

   In a sturdy saucepan, melt some butter with water and a pinch of salt, bringing it to a lively boil.

3. Step 3

   Once you see those bubbles rolling, it’s time to stir in the flour.

4. Step 4

   Mix it vigorously until the dough comes together in a lovely ball.

5. Step 5

   Now, transfer that warm dough to a mixing bowl and beat in the eggs one at a time.

6. Step 6

   Make sure each egg is fully blended before adding the next; this will give your cream puffs that perfect texture.

7. Step 7

   Next, scoop tablespoon-sized dollops of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, giving them some space to puff up beautifully.

8. Step 8

   Pop them into your preheated oven and let them bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn a delightful golden brown and are cooked through.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool completely before filling them with your delicious cream.

10. Step 10

    To create the filling, whip some heavy cream in an electric mixer until it starts to thicken, which should take about a minute.

11. Step 11

    Gradually sprinkle in confectioners' sugar and a dash of pumpkin pie spice, continuing to mix until soft peaks form—this should take around three minutes.

12. Step 12

    Now, gently fold in a third of the pumpkin purée, then add the rest, folding until everything is just combined.

13. Step 13

    When your cream puffs are cool, carefully slice each one in half horizontally with a serrated knife.

14. Step 14

    Spoon about two tablespoons of that luscious pumpkin cream filling into each puff, then give them a light dusting of confectioners' sugar and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for that extra touch of charm.

15. Step 15

    If you have any leftovers (though we doubt it!), store them in the refrigerator.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy your delightful pumpkin cream puffs, perfect for any occasion!.
