Yield: 9 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup water; 1 cup butter; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 4 large eggs; 2 1/2 cups Borden Vitamin D Milk, cold; 1 cup Borden Heavy Whipping Cream; 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix; 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 2 squares semisweet chocolate; 2 tbsp butter; 1 cup confectioners' sugar; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 3 tbsp hot water

1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet; set aside.

2

Make choux pastry: Combine water and butter in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, stirring until butter melts completely. Reduce heat to low; add flour and salt. Stir vigorously until mixture leaves the sides of the pan and begins to form a stiff ball. Remove from heat.

3

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until incorporated. Using a spoon or pastry bag fitted with a No. 10 or larger tip, spoon or pipe dough onto the prepared cookie sheet in 1 1/2x4-inch strips.

4

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F and continue baking until the bottoms sound hollow when lightly tapped, about 20 more minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

5

Make filling: Combine Borden Whole milk and pudding mix in a medium bowl according to package directions. Beat Borden Heavy Cream with an electric mixer in a separate medium bowl until soft peaks form. Beat in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Fold whipped cream into pudding.
