Ice cream puff

Jo came to me one day after his daily release session, with newspaper in his hand (ew...). 

"Dear, why don't you do this instead of muffin or cookies??"

I took a look, a recipe for ice cream / cream puff. This is something Jo likes. I kept it one side, but still toying the idea of baking chocolate almond stick for Jayden the coming weekend. Ever since I found myself pregnant and started experiencing morning sickness, my mood and momentum for baking has reduced. Now that my morning sickness is slowly fading away, I thought I should bake chocolate almond stick because it was something I wanted to do the most prior to all these. Most importantly, it was something I promised Jayden earlier. 

Come to Saturday night, I changed my mind. The ice cream puff is something much easier and less preparation needed compares to chocolate almond stick. While Jo and Jayden were washing my car, I thought I should bake some ice cream puff for them as a reward. 

My good looking puff, yeah~

Checking out the fridge, I have everything I need: butter, plain flour, water and eggs. I pre-heated my oven while cooking some of those items. Yes, we need to cook some of them and not just bake. There isn't much mixing or measurement involved. The whole process plus cooking prior to the oven is less than 30 minutes. Another 30 minutes for baking in the oven.

Puff smell spreading through the house... and it is really very easy to make! There is also recipe for ice cream in the same newspaper. But I keep the job easy. I just asked Jo to get those ready made ice cream from supermarket, and, we are done!!!

We have three flavours: chocolate ice cream puff, vanilla ice cream puff and strawberry ice cream puff. I personally prefer chocolate and vanilla. Yummy~~~
