• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Yields: 18 creampuffs

ingredients

• 1 (4 1/2 ounce) box vanilla instant pudding mix
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups heavy cream, whipped

directions

1. Whisk milk and instant pudding and let sit till thickened, about 5 minutes.
2. Fold into Whipped Heavy Cream.
3. Fill pastry bag and pipe into desired shell, or spoon into trifle, etc.
4. Now, I use this in my cream puffs and top with drizzled chocolate. I use these with a hint of cinnamon inside dessert crepes and top with berry sauce (see recipe for mixed berry sauce). I use this as a frosting for cupcakes, and brownies. The possibilities are endless.
5. This is enough for one cream puff recipe. Feel free to double or triple according to your needs.

Great! Just what I was looking for - an easy way to make pastry cream that didn't involve a ton of egg yolks. Tasty and a good texture.

It's not a 4 1/2 ounce of pudding mix. It's a box that makes 4 half cup servings and only weighs 3.4 ounces. Your correction form was unable to understand the difference. The filling tastes good and is fluffy, but I'm not sure I would call it a good substitute for the typical cooked pastry filling/pastry cream. I did use it in a puff pastry fruit tart and it held up well, though.
