Make-Ahead Magic

Make dough as directed; drop by tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheet lined with cooking parchment paper. Freeze until firm. Place frozen dough in an airtight container or resealable freezer plastic bag; freeze up to 2 months. To bake, place frozen puffs on cookie sheets sprayed with cooking spray, and bake as directed.
After filling, cream puffs can be refrigerated up to 3 hours. Drizzle with chocolate just before serving.

Festive Touch

For a more decadent cream puff, drizzle with 2 tablespoons caramel topping in addition to the chocolate icing.
