Whipped coconut cream is dairy-free and lower in calories.

In a medium bowl, add two packages of instant vanilla pudding.

Pour in two cups of heavy cream and one cup of milk.

Stir the mixture until fully combined and cover it to refrigerate until set.

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Cut half a cup of butter into four pieces and add it to a medium saucepan with one cup of water.

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.

Add one cup of flour and a quarter teaspoon of salt to the boiling mixture.

Stir until the dough forms a ball.

Transfer the dough to a stand mixer and add four eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Using a tablespoon, drop the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake the shells for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and the centers are dry.

Once the shells are cool, fill them by either splitting the shell and spooning the filling in or piping it in using a pastry bag.

Finish with a drizzle of melted chocolate or dust with powdered sugar for an elegant look.
