Spiced Honey Cream Puffs

Ingredients:

1 Cup Water

1/2 Cup Butter

1/8 Teaspoon Salt

1 Cup All-Purpose Flour

1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

1/2 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg (For dough)

1/2 Teaspoon Ground Ginger

1/8 Teaspoon Ground Allspice

4 Large Eggs

1 Package Cream Cheese (8oz.) Softened

1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1/4 Cup Sour Cream

2 Teaspoons Honey

1/4 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg (for filling)

Preheat oven to 375F and line a flat baking sheet with parchment paper. (I had to use a cut up paper bag and it didn't work too well).

In a medium saucepan combine butter, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

In another bowl mix flour, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. Comine with butter mixture and stir vigorously with a WOODEN spoon (if you use metal or plastic the dough will stick) until a ball forms. Remove from heat for at least 10 min.

After the dough is completely cooled to room temperature, place in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs one at a time beating on medium. Continue until the mixture is smooth. Spoon 12 equal sized mounds onto the parchment paper. Cook for 30 to 35 minutes. After cooking let cool for at least 30 minutes.

Filling:

In a large bowl combine sour cream, honey, cream cheese, whipping cream, and remaining nutmeg. Beat on high until smooth. (At first it may look something like cottage cheese but keep beating until smooth) Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.

Cut puffs open throug the center and fill with your desired amount of filling. Drizzle with honey and serve immediately.
