puffs and chocolate sauce -

happy anniversary to us.

7 Years. For this year I made for my hunny puff shells, added ice-cream and homemade chocolate sauce.

I wanted a good picture of it in the sun-light.

And here it is at 9pm after we got the kids to bed and were able to do a candle light dessert .

Puffs

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/8 t salt
• 1 cup flour
• 4 eggs

In a sauce pan add water and butter and salt. Bring to a boil. Add all the flour at once and still vigorously still it forms a ball. Take off stove and let cool for 10 minutes. (if not when you add your eggs they will curdle. -Did that once with. Not so good!) beat in eggs 1 at a time with a wooden spoon. Drop 12 balls onto greased cookie sheet. 400 for 30-35 minutes. For smaller make into teaspoon balls and bake for 18 minutes. Cut into half and scrap out soft dough.

- This is from Better Homes and Garden cookbook but its the basic recipe for puffs. Julia Child's is basically the same.

Chocolate Sauce

• 1/4 c cocoa
• 3/4 c. sugar
• 1 c whipping cream- un-whipped
• 1/8 t salt
• 1/4 c butter

Add all above to sauce pan. Bring to boil and add 1t vanilla

Cream

• 1 cup whipping cream
• 2 T sugar
• 1/2 vanilla

beat till you get the desired consistency.

Tips- To write on the plate. I placed chocolate sauce into a small tip squeeze bottle and wrote message. Then placed in the freezer.

-I also filled the puffs with the ice-cream in the morning and put them in the freezer. Take out a few minute before you serve them to thaw.

-puffs can be filled with anything to make a yummy appetizer, breakfast or dessert.

This is what our plate looked like real quick.

Happy Anniversary and I Love US!!!
