VAN DIERMEN BRAND CREAM PUFFS
WITH CREAMY CARAMEL SAUCE

Our Van Diermen Cream Puffs are certainly rich and flavorful, but with homemade creamy caramel 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 caramel sauces available, we doubt any are even close in quality to this easy homemade version.

INGREDIENTS

4 dozen Van Diermen Dutch Mini Cream Puffs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
6 tbsp light corn syrup
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp genuine vanilla extract

Makes about 3/4 cup.

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 creamy caramel sauce as soon as the puffs are in the dishes.

CARAMEL SAUCE

In a heavy saucepan simmer sugar, water, corn syrup and a pinch of salt, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil mixture, without stirring, until a golden caramel color. Remove pan from heat and add cream and vanilla, stirring until well combined (about 1 minute). Cool sauce to room temperature (sauce will thicken as it cools).

Sauce keeps, covered and chilled, 3 weeks. Bring sauce to room temperature before serving.
