VAN DIERMEN BRAND CREAM PUFFS WITH
BRANDY TOFFEE SAUCE
Our Van Diermen Cream Puffs are certainly rich and flavorful, but with homemade Brandy toffee sauce they are unbelievable. Our cream puffs are made from real, fresh whipped cream and not fake “creme” made from oil, or filling made from butter, like other brands. Therefore, they deserve the best quality topping. Although there are many commercial toffee sauces available, we doubt any are even close in quality to this easy homemade version.
INGREDIENTS
4 dozen Van Diermen Dutch Mini Cream Puffs
1-1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tbsp Brandy
Makes about 2-1/4 cups.
PREPARE THE CREAM PUFFS
Place frozen puffs in their individual serving bowls or plates. Do not refrigerate. Allow three or four per person, or more if you wish. Begin to prepare the Brandy toffee sauce as soon as the puffs are in the dishes.
BRANDY TOFFEE SAUCE
In a heavy saucepan simmer cream with butter and brown sugar, stirring 3 to 4
minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove pan from heat and stir in Brandy.
Sauce keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week. Reheat sauce before serving.
