Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 large Eggs
• 8 ounces Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Additional powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 0.5 cup unsalted butter, and 0.25 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup all-purpose flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time to the dough, beating well after each addition. The dough should be smooth and shiny.

Step 6

Spoon or pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in a large ring shape, about 8 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the ring is golden brown and puffed. Do not open the oven door during baking.

Step 8

Remove the cream puff ring from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, slice it horizontally in half to create a top and bottom layer.

Step 9

In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces softened Philadelphia Cream Cheese, 0.5 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

In a separate chilled bowl, whisk 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Step 11

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

Step 12

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the bottom half of the cream puff ring. Replace the top half of the ring.

Step 13

Dust the assembled ring lightly with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar before serving.

Step 14

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
