Easy to make and looks good. Second time I made it I just cut squares in the pastry. I didn't know it wasn't good to re-roll pastry and cutting circles seemed to be waste. The re- rolled pastry didn't puff.

Fabulous.A great treat and so easy to make. A very nice light dessert. Made for thanksgiving dessert instead of pumpkin pies and were the greatest hit with everyone.Drizzles a small plate with chocolate and then place dessert on it looked great

I was afraid of working with puff pastry but after trying this recipe .... it's so easy! A nice light dessert ... I've made it twice now - once as in the photograph and for Valentine's Day, using heart shape cookie cutters - fabulous !

These are just wonderful and so easy to make. I managed to squeeze out 12 cream puffs instead of 9. I used white chocolate pudding mix instead of vanilla. It was great. Husband gobbled up 3 one right after the other!!!! I will definitely make these again.

These are a variation of a recipe (mini napoleons)from a "What's Cooking" about 10 years ago. The difference is when making the pudding, substitute 1 cup sour cream for half the milk. These are ALWAYS a hit, and never last long once served. My family and friends LOVE them, and it's a recipe I've passed on to countless people!
