How to Make Philly Cream Cheese Cream Puff Ring
- Bring 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of margarine to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water and margarine mixture.
- Stir vigorously over low heat until the mixture forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Add 4 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is smooth and glossy.
- Drop ten 1/2 cupfuls of dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet to form a 9-inch ring.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 50-55 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from baking sheet immediately and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the filling and topping:
- 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.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of the cream cheese mixture.
- Fold in 1 cup of whipped cream and 1 cup of sliced bananas (optional) into the remaining cream cheese mixture.
- Chill the filling for at least 30 minutes.
- Carefully cut the top off the cream puff ring.
- Fill the ring with the chilled whipped cream and banana mixture.
- Replace the top.
- 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.
- Mix well until smooth and spread over the top of the cream puff ring.
- Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
