When I tabbed this recipe, I had a clear memory of approximately 25 cream puffs sitting on a silver platter topped with chocolate glaze. My dad used to have a friend who'd make these for Christmas every year. Little did I know that I took these cream puffs that we received for granted - dot dot dot- I haven't had one of those cream puffs in I want to say ten years. She was a customer who made these wonderful little puff pastries filled with the perfect combination of sweet, creamy, and airy.
I associate a lot of childhood food memories with my dad. As I've probably mentioned in past entries, my dad molded my taste buds. He was the one who taught me too appreciate textures, flavors and chemistry. When he said these were good, they were extraordinary.
Being that my cravings are spontaneous, and my memories endless, I had a calling to make cream puffs filled with sweetened condensed milk pastry cream.

Okay, that combination of sweetened condensed milk and pastry cream just whet my Asian appetite :) Lovely puffs!
These look gorgeous, nothing like lovely memories like that either. Can't wait to see the recipe
But, but, but...you're going to just leave us hanging?!?
They're so pretty!
OMG these look good. I could eat sweetened condensed milk straight out of the can with a spoon.
Wow! Lovely puffs! I'm glad you made this variation because I love condensed milk!
Oooh yes!! Perfect! Wow. Clap clap clap! Damn. Oouch!.. Nevermind, i just bit my tongue.
Condensed milk pastry cream + choux = genius. Have you ever tried to boil a can of condensed milk fully submerged in water for about 2 hours? It makes really yummy Dulce de Leche.. It's great!
the filling sounds very creative, can't wait to see the recipe!
And love, Love LOVE the header design of your blog!
Very pretty and look SO yummy!!
Condensed milk in cream puffs! Oh yes please!!! :)
Those look like a delicious treat. Curious to see the follow up on this one
OH don't get me started on condensed milk. food from the heavens. but so bad for you :) love it.
these cream puffs are surely the ultimate with it. they look fantastic!!!
that's great to recall that taste memory of your dad sharing the appreciation of palates w. you!
Anything w. condensed milk reminds me of this ice cream my mom would make for me when we lived in Saigon. Reminds me to make that recipe again.
As ever lovely photos + post!
It has been way too long since I last had a cream puff and those look so good!!
pretty choux! a rather simple dough, no?
can't wait to see the recipe for the filling. i love condensed milk. so. much.
mmmm ... i remember one time, your dad had a day off and he took us all out and drove and drove and drove for a long time. finally, we ended up at this random pizza place -- it was the BEST pizza i ever had.. i still think about it every now and then. one of the pizzas had shrimp on it! mmm...
That dessert ~ Cream Puffs looks wondcerful. I used to bake with my grandma on the weekends a long time ago and she loved making cream puffs.

ohhh those look great! thanks for sharing the condensed milk filling recipe! my mom makes them the same way, but of course, she doesn't ever keep "recipes" (except in her head) so she's never been able to tell me how much of anything i would need! i've always resorted to a quick whipped filling recipe instead! this sounds somewhat similar to what she includes in hers, so i'll def have to give these a try!!
wow this is super creative! wow i love it! i love the new recipe tab too
These are so tempting...and I like your new site design.
Oh my gosh, divine! I must make them!
Those look fantastic. I've yet to try my hand a cream puffs but want to - now I must! Summer is such a great time for them, too. thanks for the share!
What great color those shells have. Don't you just love the many uses with condensed milk?
Really nice job, even better pictures.
Your digital recipe card looks really cute, glad to see you were able to edit the header :D.

Cream puffs remind me of visits to the bakery with my mom when I was a kid. They were her favorite and soon became mine too.
