Pastry Swans

I usually serve these yummy swans some time during

the holidays. They look beautiful on a dessert buffet!

As impressive as they look, they are very easy to make.

If you are sick of sweets or starting a diet, tuck the

thought away for Valentine's Day. :)

Any recipe for Pate a Choux will work (pastry for cream puffs).

Fill pastry bag with dough and

pipe swan necks and oval cream puffs for bodies

onto cookie sheet and bake as directed.

These are usually served with ice cream inside, but we

prefer a rich mixture of cream cheese, powdered sugar,

cool whip and vanilla.

(No worries with melting ice cream that way.)

Cut off the top of the pastries and

then halve the tops to make wings.

After assembling, drizzle with chocolate.

Chill until ready to serve.
