How to Make Philly Cream Cheese Cream Puff Ring

  1. Bring 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of margarine to a boil in a medium saucepan.
  2. Add 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water and margarine mixture.
  3. Stir vigorously over low heat until the mixture forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. Add 4 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  6. Drop ten 1/2 cupfuls of dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet to form a 9-inch ring.
  7. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 50-55 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Remove from baking sheet immediately and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. For the filling and topping:
  10. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
  11. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cream cheese mixture.
  12. Fold in 1 cup of whipped cream and 1 cup of sliced bananas (optional) into the remaining cream cheese mixture.
  13. Chill the filling for at least 30 minutes.
  14. Carefully cut the top off the cream puff ring.
  15. Fill the ring with the chilled whipped cream and banana mixture.
  16. Replace the top.
  17. In a small bowl, combine the reserved 1/2 cup cream cheese mixture, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon of milk.
  18. Mix well until smooth and spread over the top of the cream puff ring.
  19. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
