Mock Cream Puff Delight Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.
• In a saucepan or in the microwave, bring water and margarine to a boil. Mix in the flour, then beat in the eggs, one at a time. Spread mixture in the prepared pan; bake in preheated oven until puffed and golden, about 25 minutes. Press down any large bubbles with a wooden spoon. Cool cream puff before filling.
• For the filling: Beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Stir in the milk and pudding mix. Beat until mixture is thick, then spread over cream puff. Top with whipped topping, drizzle with chocolate syrup and sprinkle with almonds. Refrigerate 24 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Unroll the crescent dough from the can. Separate the dough to form eight triangles. Place two triangles, with the long side at the bottom, and the two short side touching each other in the middle, forming one large triangle on your work surface. Pinch together the two shorter sides making one large triangle. Loosely roll up the triangle starting from the longest side toward the tip. Once in a rope, start at one end of the rope and roll toward the other end forming a cinnamon roll look. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining six pieces. This will make 4 round crescent rolls. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes. Cool completely.
• Meanwhile, prepare pudding mix with light cream. Let chill for 15 minutes.
• To assemble: Cut croissant pastry in half horizontally. Spoon 1/2 cup of cream pudding onto bottom half. Cover with top half and drizzle with 1/4 cup syrup.

Steps:

• Using a food processor, pulse butter into flour until it resembles crumbs. pulse in sour cream just until a ball forms and it just begins to hold together, being careful not to over-mix.
• Roll out and fold over in three sections (like folding a business letter). Repeat 2-3 times to get the layers of puff pastry.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes before using. Let sit for a few minutes or pound with rolling pin to get it pliable.
