Instructions
Large Choux Pastry Shells
Preheat oven to 400°F and grease to baking sheets.
Bring water, butter and salt to a boil in a large saucepan.
Add the full cup of flour at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
Scoop large dollops (about 3 Tablespoons each) of dough onto prepared pans. Whisk together milk and egg yolk. Brush dough with egg yolk wash.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until puffed and golden. Remove to wire racks and immediately cut a sit for steam to escape. Let cool completely.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling
To make filling, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add brown sugar, vanilla and pumpkin butter and beat until completely incorporated.
With the mixer running on medium, drizzle in cream until completely incorporated. Turn mixer to high and beat until light and fluffy.
Pipe or spoon into cream puffs just before serving or store in refrigerator until ready to use.
Dust filled shells with powdered sugar then serve.
