For Cream Puff's:
1 cup water
8 Tbsp. butter
Pinch of salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
2 cookie sheets
Parchment paper
1 pastry bag
Plain pastry tip
For Filling:
1 bag 3 Musketeers mint minis
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 cup low-fat milk
1/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs yolks
2 cup reduced fat whipped cream, plus more for garnish
For Sauce:
1 cup light cream
2 cups chopped 3 Musketeers mint minis
Prepare Cream Puffs:
Preheat the oven to 400*F.
Bring water, butter and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cook until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and add the flour all at once, stirring until it forms a ball and comes away from the sides of the pan.
Add eggs, one at a time and stir well after each addition. After adding the last egg, the dough should look shiny and elastic.
Spoon mixture into pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip. Pipe 8 3" mounds, 4 on each cookie sheet, about 3" apart on parchment lined cookie sheets.
Bake for about 40-45 minutes, rotating the pan half way through. Turn the oven off and continue to let cream puffs dry for an additional 10-15 minutes.
When ready to serve cut the cream puffs horizontally in half and pulling the center out and fill.
Prepare The Filling:
Dissolve cornstarch in 1/2 cup milk, set aside. Whisk sugar and egg yolks until they are a light yellow. Whisk in cornstarch mixture.
Bring remaining milk to a boil. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk hot milk into the egg yolk mixture.
Return this mixture to saucepan, bring to a boil, stirring constantly and cook until it thickens (about 1 minute). Add 2 cups chopped 3 Musketeers mint minis and stir until candy melts and mixture is smooth.
Cool to room temperature. Then stir chocolate filling until smooth and fold in whipped topping.
Prepare the Sauce:
Bring cream to a boil. Remove from the heat and add 2 cups chopped 3 Musketeers mint minis.
Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir smooth before serving.
Spoon sauce over cream puffs or serve over ice cream.
