INGREDIENTS
| 1 | cup water |
| 1/4 | cup margarine |
| 1 | cup all-purpose flour |
| 4 | eggs |
| 1 | quart strawberries, stemmed and quartered |
| 1‑1/2 | cups diced peaches or nectarines |
| 6 | packets sugar substitute or equivalent of 1/4 cup sugar |
| 1 | teaspoon vanilla |
| 1/2 | teaspoon almond extract |
| 2 | cups fat-free vanilla ice cream or 2 cups fat-free whipped topping |
| 1 | tablespoon powdered sugar |
PREPARATION:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine water and margarine in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; stir in flour until well blended. Remove from heat, stir in eggs one at a time until well blended.
- Spoon 4 tablespoons batter side by side to form cloverleaf on ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter. Bake 35 minutes or until golden brown.
- Combine strawberries, peaches, sugar substitute, vanilla and almond extract in medium bowl. Place 3/4 cup strawberry mixture in food processor or blender; process until smooth. Return to remaining strawberry mixture; set aside.
- Once cream puffs are done, place baking sheet on wire rack; cool completely. Cut each cream puff in half crosswise. Spoon 1/4 cup ice cream or whipped topping on bottom half of each cream puff. Spoon about 1/2 cup strawberry mixture on top of ice cream; top with top half of cream puff. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
Note
For a quick dessert, toast 8 frozen waffles and use as a base in place of cream puff. Combine 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon in small bowl; sprinkle over waffles before topping with ice crean and fruit.
