Cream Puffs and Cream Custard

I remembered that cream puffs are one of my favorite treat when I was in my high school and I called them "A-Care Treat Puffs" that I always get a couple at my high school cafeteria 3 times a week. I actually started to exploring how to make cream puffs 9 years ago and I started the filling cream by using heavy cream with pudding pack and I have adjust from pre-made filling cream to my homemade cream custard from scratch which I can control how much sweetness and stay healthy!

Cream Puffs Serving with Chai Tea Latte

For a healthier choice, I substitute heavy cream to white egg whipped with monk-fruit instead of sugar. I still taste sweetness but it is better for my health.
