Hi Arlene!
These cream puffs will be the size of the Sicilian Sfinge. The size of a baseball. They may appear smaller in the photos, but we think they are large enough.
Try baking the first batch, and see how large they turn out. Then you can increase the amount of pastry dough to make them larger, but keep in mind, they may need additional time to bake them.
I hope this helps! Enjoy and Happy Baking! đŸ™‚

Hi Marianna,
That’s a good question. If I had to guess, I think it’s best to make the cream and puffs the day before, and keep the cream in a container chilled in the fridge. And store the puffs on a baking sheet or tray, and in a dry area, lightly covered with clear wrap. Then fill them on Christmas. Also, it’s best to fill only one hour or less before serving. The cream will make the puffs softened the longer they sit with them filled.
I hope this helps! Merry Christmas!! Xo

We loved when she made them and I’m sure if she knew they were traditional for St. Joseph’s Day, she would have made them for us on his feast day! Your fillings sound terrific!
