     Title: Minty Chocolate Cream Puffs
Categories: Desserts, Chocolate, Dairy
     Yield: 36 servings

     2 c  Heavy whipping cream
   1/4 c  Ground mocha mint coffee
     1 c  Water
   1/2 c  Butter
   1/2 ts Salt
     1 c  A-P flour
   1/4 c  Baking cocoa
     1 tb Sugar
     4 lg Eggs; room temp
   1/4 c  Confectioners' sugar
     4 dr Green food coloring; opt

 Pour cream into a small saucepan. Place coffee on a
 double thickness of cheesecloth. Gather corners of cloth
 to enclose; tie securely with string. Add to cream. Warm
 mixture over medium-low heat (do not boil), about 5
 minutes. Remove from the heat. Transfer cream and coffee
 to a large mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or
 overnight.

 Set oven @ 400oF/205oC.

 In a small saucepan, bring water, butter and salt to a
 rolling boil. Combine flour, cocoa and sugar; add flour
 mixture all at once and beat until blended. Cook over
 medium heat, stirring vigorously until mixture pulls
 away from sides of pan and forms a ball. Remove from
 heat; let stand 5 minutes.

 Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition
 until smooth. Continue beating until mixture is smooth
 and shiny.

 Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 1 in. apart onto
 parchment-lined baking sheets or pipe dough using a
 1/2-inch round pastry tip. Bake until puffed and very
 firm, 30-35 minutes. Pierce side of each puff with tip
 of a knife. Cool on wire rack. Split puffs open. Pull
 out and discard soft dough from inside tops and bottoms.

 Remove and discard coffee from cream. Beat cream until
 it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat
 until soft peaks form. If desired, beat in food
 coloring. Fill cream puffs with whipped cream just
 before serving; replace tops.
