Nutella-filled Cream Puffs

Cream Puff Shells
printable recipe here
makes 8 large cream puffs
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1/4 t. salt
1 cup flour
4 large eggs
Melt butter and water in a saucepan, add salt and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball around the spoon.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. The mixture should be smooth after each egg is added. Using an ice cream scoop if you have one, drop some of the mixture on a cookie sheet that has been greased, or on a sheet of parchment paper or Silpat. Bake at 15 minutes at 450 degrees, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another half hour. Let cool completely before cutting in half and filling.
Filling:
2 cups whipping cream
1 13-ounce jar Nutella
Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add the Nutella, by spoonfuls, until all the Nutella is incorporated and the cream is stiff. Fill the cream puff shells and drizzle with a chocolate glaze. I used a store-bought syrup made by Hershey’s.

Happy Nutella Day!
Omg…that is all I can say! Those look amazing!
These actually look do-able! I needed a fresh new Nutella recipe about now too. Thanks, Linda. (Wonder what happened with your chocolate sauce..)
I miss it every year. And I'm gaining weight eating fruits and vegetables and exercising! I'd rather gain weight having your Nutella cream puffs! Much more fun.
Holy cow! I just called the husband to bring home some dessert, I wish he could stop by and pick up a few of these!
I truly think that I'm in Nutella heaven after reading this post . . . off to the kitchen now for a big spoonful or maybe a scoop-full of that brown potion!
che grande tentazione questa ricetta, come si può resistere? buona settimana cara linda, un abbraccio…
Dear Linda, these cream puffs look simply divine!! I will be dreaming of these tonight with that luscious nutella filling!! Blessings dear one, Catherine xo
What a fantastic gift for Valentines day! These creme puffs actually remind me of the ones sold at my fathers bakery. They were filled with either whipped creme or pastry creme. They are a work of art!

Your cream puffs look like perfection, Linda!
I will have to indulge only with my eyes as I have to begin mother-of-the-bride dress shopping soon!
Every year I swear I'm going to make something for Nutella Day. Each year, the time arrives and I miss the chance. I've seen lots of Nutella recipes, but these cream puffs are one of the best yet. Makes me long for one…
I'm in awe of the worldwide love for Nutella and cream puffs will just make the cravings stronger and wider-based. Nutella in Mars?
