      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.
