Eclaires with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

This was so good! I tried them for the first time today and they turned out perfect!!

1 Cup water
1/2 cup butter
1/8 tsp. salt
4 eggs

1 lg box vanilla pudding (make with 1 pint half and half and 1 cup milk)

In a medium saucepan melt butter. Add salt and water and bring to a boil. Add 1 cup flour to boiling mixture, stir until it forms a ball. Be careful not to burn. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Crack 4 eggs into the mixture ONE at a time and stir with a wooden spoon after each egg until well mixed. Drop onto a greased cookie sheet in twelve egg shapes.

Cook at 400 degrees for 28-30 minutes. (until golden brown)
After they've cooled, carefully make a cut in the top and fill with vanilla pudding.

Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

1 8 oz box cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 - 1/2 cup cocoa powder

Mix together cream cheese and butter. Whip for 1 to 2 minutes until creamy and smooth. Add vanilla and mix well. Mix in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Add cocoa powder to your liking. And whip together well. Frost eclaires and seal the cut and serve. Oh! And try not to drool all over them! :D
