Betty Crocker Mini Churro-Salted Caramel Cream Puffs

Cream puffs are made with a unique egg-based dough that when baked, creates cloud-like pastry puffs that are light and airy with hollow centers. Typically, they are split and filled with sweetened whipped cream, custard or ice cream. They look fancy but are actually very easy to make! Our mini churro version is from our Betty Crocker Christmas Cookbook. We’ve leveled up traditional cream puffs by giving them a mini size that enrobes with a decadent cinnamon sugar topping and a sweet-salty caramel whipped cream filling. Everyone will want to pop them in their mouths, for an explosion of flavor and textures that’s a treat to eat.
