SANDERS CREAM PUFFS AND HOT FUDGE SAUCE RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Hot Fudge: Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a deep saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Boil briskly 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Serve hot. May be stored in refrigerator. To reheat, microwave on medium to pouring consistency. This topping is very close (albeit counterfeit) to Sanders Milk Chocolate Hot Fudge toppping and only to be used in extreme emergencies when you cannot get your hands on the original. Cream Puffs: Bring water and butter to a rolling boil. Stir in flour over low heat about 1 minute or until mixture forms ball. Remove from heat. Beat in eggs (1 or 2 at a time is easiest). Drop on ungreased baking sheet. (By teaspoons up to ¼ cup depending on size of puff desired). A rounded teaspoon is recommended for sandwich size as the puff up a lot. Bake at 400° F for 20 minutes for small to 40 minutes for large. May also shape into fingers for eclairs. These puffs taste like the ones that Sanders used. Make the large size. Cut off the tops, scoop in vanilla bean ice cream, put top back on, and drench with Sanders Milk Chocolate Hot Fudge.

CREAM PUFFS WITH ICE CREAM AND HOT FUDGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the dough: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. with racks in upper and lower thirds. Butter two large rimmed baking sheets.
• Combine butter, 1 cup water, and salt in a 2-quart heavy saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until butter melts. Reduce heat to medium.
• Add flour; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball, 30 seconds to 1 minute (see Cook's Note). Remove from heat; cool 1 minute.
• With an electric handheld mixer, beat in eggs, a little bit at a time, until completely incorporated (dough should look shiny and be soft enough to slowly fall off a spoon).
• Bake the puffs: Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto baking sheets (you should have 24 to 28), about 2 inches apart. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush puffs with egg wash (do not let it drip on sheets).
• Bake, rotating sheets between racks halfway through, until puffed and brown, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven; turn oven off.
• With a toothpick, poke a hole in each puff. Return to oven (still off) for 10 minutes (this helps puffs dry out).
• Fill the puffs: When cool, halve each puff horizontally with a serrated knife.
• Working in batches (to prevent ice cream from melting), place a small scoop of ice cream (2 to 3 tablespoons) in each bottom half. Replace tops; press gently. Arrange on one rimmed baking sheet; freeze until firm. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze up to 2 days.
• Arrange 3 filled puffs in each of eight shallow bowls; drizzle with warm Hot Fudge Sauce. Serve immediately.
