8 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Water
½ cup Butter or margarine; cut into pieces
1 cup All-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon Salt
4 Eggs
1 quart Orange sherbet
Confectiners' sugar
16 Chocolate chips

Directions

These puffs can easily be made in advance and filled just before serving.

Just wrap the unfilled puffs tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in a cool place for up to 2 days.

Bring water and butter to a boil in medium saucepan over high heat, stirring until butter is melted. Reduce heat to low; stir in flour and salt until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until mixture is smooth.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spoon about ⅓ cup dough onto ungreased baking sheet. With wet knife, form into ghost shape as shown in diagram.

Repeat with remaining dough to form ghosts, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until puffed and golden. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

Carefully cut each ghost in half horizontally; remove soft interior leaving hollow shell.

Just before serving, fill each shell bottom with about ½ cup orange sherbet. Cover with top of shell; sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Position 2 chocolate chips on each ghost for eyes.
