Serves 12
Published in: Dallas Morning News
1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (divided use)
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar (divided use)
1/8 teaspoons plus 1/4 teaspoon salt (divided use)
2 cup skim milk (divided use)
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup water
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoons salt
2 large eggs
2 large egg whites
Glaze (recipe follows)
For cream filling: Place 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt
and 1 3/4 cups milk in a medium microwavable bowl. Whisk well. Microwave
on High (100 percent power) 4 to 5 minutes or until thick, stirring every
minute. Combine remaining 1/4 cup milk and egg substitute in a large
bowl. Stir 1/4 of hot mixture into egg mixture and then blend all of egg
mixture into remaining hot mixture. Microwave on High 1 minute; stir well.
Stir in vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap, gently pressing plastic wrap
down directly onto surface of pudding. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or
until chilled. (Makes 2 1/2 cups.)
For pastry shells: Preheat oven to 425 F. Cover baking sheet with
parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Combine water, butter, 2
teaspoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in heavy saucepan. Heat over
medium-high heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until mixture
comes to a boil; remove from heat. Add 1 cup flour, stirring well until
mixture is smooth and pulls away from sides of pan. Return pan to heat
and cook 30 seconds. Remove from heat and add eggs and egg whites, one at
a time, beating with a mixer at medium speed until just combined.
Continue beating 1 minute. Drop the dough into 12 mounds (slight 1/4 cup)
about 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes. Cool completely on
a rack.
To assemble: Cut top third from each shell. Divide filling among shells;
replace top. Drizzle with glaze. Makes 12 servings.
For glaze: In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons cocoa, 1/4
teaspoon vanilla and 2/3 cup powdered sugar. Stir in 2 tablespoons hot
water to make thin glaze. Set aside.
