• 1 can non-stick cooking spray
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup marshmallow creme
• 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup whipped cream
• 1 cup (about 7 oz. unpitted) pitted and finely chopped fresh sweet cherries, drained

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Bring butter, salt, and water to a boil in 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in flour.
3. Remove from heat and beat on low speed until mixture pulls away from edge of pan. Cool for 5 minutes.
4. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat until smooth.
5. Drop teaspoonfuls 2-inches apart onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 10-12 minutes more until dry. Remove from oven and cool completely.
6. Meanwhile, for filling, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar in a small mixing bowl on low speed until smooth. Beat in marshmallow creme and extract. Fold in whipped cream. Chill for 1 hour or until serving time.
7. Just before serving, stir cherries into filling mixture. Cut a slit in the side of each cooled puff and fill with filling mixture. Serve immediately. Makes 3 dozen.
