Cream Puffs with French Vanilla Cream Filling

This recipe is the very first cream puff recipe I made, years ago. It has alot of steps but really is very simple and quick from start to finish. The filling is super simple but provides a very light not to sweet luscious middle! The glaze is the perfect topping to finish it up
