18 cream puffs (8.9 cm dia)

Ingredients

Puffs

• 1 cup (250 mL) water
• ⅓ cup (75 mL) Becel® Light margarine
• 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour
• ¼ tsp. (1 mL) salt
• 4 eggs, or substitute 3 whole eggs
• 2 egg whites

Filling

• 4 cups (1 L) frozen yogurt, or prepared light whipped topping
• 3 cups (750 mL) fresh fruit (strawberries, peaches, raspberries, blueberries)
• ½ cups (125 mL) light jam (strawberry, raspberry, apricot)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Heat water and Becel® Light margarine in medium saucepan to a rolling boil. Add flour and salt all at once. Stir vigorously over low heat for about 2 minutes or until mixture leaves sides of pan and forms a ball. Remove from heat. Cool for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add eggs, one at a time, beating on medium speed using an electric mixer or vigorously with a wooden spoon after each egg until smooth and glossy. Drop dough by scant ¼ cup (50 mL), 2-inch (5 cm) apart onto a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes or until puffed and golden. Slit sides of each puff with tip of a sharp knife to allow steam to escape. Bake for 2 minutes longer. Cool completely on wire rack.

Step 5

Cut puff in half horizontally. Spoon ½ tbsp. (7 mL) of the jam on bottom puff. Top with ¼ cup (50 mL) frozen yogurt or whipped topping and ¼ cup (50 mL) fruit. Replace puff top over filling. Repeat for remaining puffs. Serve immediately.
