Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup chocolate shavings
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 TSP salt
• 2 oz sugar
• 4 cups low-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup low-fat whipped topping
• 1/4 cup raspberries, pureed
• 4 eggs

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine water, vanilla, and butter. Bring to a boil. Add flour, salt, and sugar, stirring vigorously. Cook and stir until the mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat. Add eggs, one at a time, beating with a spoon until the mixture is smooth after each addition.
2. Drop batter by heaping tablespoons into 9 mounds on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven; let cool. Cut off tops; remove any soft dough inside. Fill with the raspberry filling.
3. FOR THE FILLING: Mix together cream cheese, whipped topping, and raspberries in a mixing bowl until smooth. Drop the filling into the puffs. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
