Ingredients

Pastry

• 3 eggs – room temperature
• 2 1/2 oz. Cream Cheese (1/2 cup + 1/8 cup)
• 1/8 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Filling

• 2 oz. Whipping Cream
• 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 cup Cream Cheese
• Chocolate Layer
• 6 squares 90% dark Chocolate

Instructions

Pastry

1. Preheat oven to 355F
2. Separate eggs into two bowls
3. Add the Cream Cheese to the Yolks – mix until smooth and lump-free
4. Add the salt and Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat until stiff
5. Gently fold the Yolk mix into the whites. Be very gentle and fold the mix over, you want to keep all the light fluffy air – Do not beat!!!
6. Spoon or scoop gently into greased muffin pans (24 -30) – I like these ones with the rounded bottoms. Don't panic if some of the mixes near the end is a bit runnier – use it anyway.
7. Get them straight into the oven for 15 mins
8. Turn oven down to 300F for another 15 mins

Remove from pan (I do this by running a teaspoon around and under) then flip upside down to cool

Filling

1. Beat all together until smooth, creamy and can hold its shape
2. Spoon gently into a piping bag fitted with the longest nozzle you have
3. Make a small slit in the side of each puff, insert piping nozzle well in, squeeze the bag gently until you feel the puffs round out a bit.
4. Place upside down so the nice, even shaped bottoms become the tops.
5. Chocolate Layer
6. Melt by your preferred method and dribble over the Puffs
