Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, combine unsalted butter, water, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium-high until boiling, then remove from heat and stir in all-purpose flour until a smooth ball forms.
- Allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
- Transfer dough to a piping bag and pipe 12 mounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, each about 2 inches wide.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 25-30 minutes without opening the oven.
- Cool the puffs completely on a wire rack. Cut the tops off each puff for filling.
- In a mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, eggnog, powdered sugar, pudding mix, nutmeg, and vanilla. Whip until thick and fluffy.
- Fill the bottom halves of the cream puffs and replace the tops. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
