I was really pressed for time and did not make the filling, but the puffs are heavenly. After preparing the puffs, I mixed a small box of instant vanilla pudding with 8 oz lite cool whip. When ready to serve, I sliced the puff in half, scooped some of the pudding mix into the puff and topped with fresh chopped strawberries. Tasts like a dessert you spent a lot of time on. Everyone loved the recipe.
