Step 1

Mix together vanilla instant pudding mix, cream and milk. Cover and refrigerate to set.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 3

In a large pot, bring water and butter to a rolling boil. Stir in flour and salt until the mixture forms a ball. Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon or stand mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Centers should be dry.

Step 5

When the shells are cool, either split and fill them with the pudding mixture, or use a pastry bag to pipe the pudding into the shells.
