- Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully slice each cream puff in half and fill with the whipped cream mixture.

Notes
Avoid opening the oven door while baking to prevent collapsing. For best results, use large eggs and chilled equipment when whipping cream.
