    List of Ingredients




    Filling:

    1 box (2 3/4 ounces) vanilla pudding mix (not instant)
    2 cups milk
    1/2 cup flaked, sweetened coconut
    1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, well-drained
    1/4 teaspoon rum extract

    Dough:

    1 cup water
    6 tablespoons butter
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon sugar
    3/4 cup flour
    4 large eggs

    Topping:

    1 cup confectioners' sugar
    1 tablespoon water
    6 tablespoons flaked, sweetened coconut

    Recipe



    For filling, cook pudding according to package directions, using 2 cups milk. Transfer to medium bowl; cover surface directly with wax paper or plastic wrap. Chill until cool, at least 4 hours or overnight.

    When cool, fold in coconut and pineapple. Stir in rum extract. Chill until ready for use.

    Heat oven to 425 degrees. For dough, heat water, butter, salt and sugar in heavy, medium saucepan over medium-low heat until butter melts. Remove from heat; stir in flour all at once, beating with wooden spoon until smooth. Return to heat, stirring constantly, until dough leaves sides of pan and forms smooth mass (dough will look slightly dry), about 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat.

    Make well in center of dough. Add 1 egg at a time, beating vigorously with wooden spoon until paste has absorbed all of liquid and reformed into smooth mass before adding next egg.

    Measure out 1/4 cup of dough; place in mound on lightly buttered baking sheet. Repeat, making a total of 6 mounds. Top each mound of dough with 1 tablespoon of remaining dough. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven.

    With sharp knife, make small slit in each puff where large bottom connects with smaller top. Return to oven, 10 minutes, to dry out. Cool on wire racks. Cut tops of cream puffs off with serrated knife; pull out any moist dough inside. Fill with pudding mixture. Replace tops.

    For topping, combine confectioners' sugar and water in bowl of electric mixer; beat until smooth. Drizzle icing over tops of puffs. Sprinkle with coconut.
