Filling
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the cream and sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved.

Cream Puff Dough
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 F. In a saucepan, combine water, butter, zest and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low.

- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Cool on wire racks then cut each puff in half horizontally.
