Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of water, ½ cup unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil.
- Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat and quickly stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
- Allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes; then, incorporate 4 large eggs one at a time.
- Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the puffs from the oven and immediately pierce each one to release steam.
- In a mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Slowly add in ½ cup eggnog, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Once cooled, carefully cut the tops off the puffs and fill each with the creamy eggnog mixture.
- Before serving, dust the filled Eggnog Cream Puffs with powdered sugar.
