cream puffs recipe

Light and delicate, these homemade Cream Puffs are a classic French dessert perfect for any occasion. They are straightforward to make with simple ingredients.

Cream Puffs

whole milk ((360 milliliters))

heavy cream ((360 milliliters))

vanilla bean (split and seeds scraped)

sugar ((133 grams))

cornstarch ((30 grams))

salt

unsalted butter

water ((240 milliliters))

unsalted butter ((113 grams))

sugar

all-purpose flour ((120 grams))

eggs

confectioner's sugar (for dusting)

Combine the milk, ½ cup cream, and scraped vanilla seeds in a medium pot and place on medium-high heat whisking occasionally. Bring to a boil and immediately turn off the heat and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and salt together then add the egg yolks. Whisk until pale yellow and smooth. While whisking, slowly pour in ½ cup of the hot milk mixture until incorporated. Whisk in the remaining hot milk mixture. Pour the mixture through a strainer back into the saucepan.

Cook the egg yolk mixture over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and just starting to bubble. The whisk should leave a defined trace when moved through the custard. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until fully melted and combined. Transfer the custard to a large bowl.

Cover with plastic wrap, lightly pressing the plastic against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve. The custard can be made up to 2 days in advance.

For the Filling:

Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

In a large saucepan, bring the water, butter, sugar, and salt to a boil over medium-high heat. When it boils, immediately take the pan off the heat.

Add all of the flour at once and stir hard with a wooden spoon until all of the flour is incorporated. Return to medium heat and cook, stirring for about 60 seconds.

Scrape the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (you can also use a hand mixer). Beat at medium speed for about 2 minutes to cool the mixture down. (it will still be warm.)

With the mixer running, add 3 eggs, one at a time, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl between each egg. Mix until the dough is smooth and glossy and the eggs are completely incorporated. The dough should be thick but fall slowly and steadily from the beater when lifted out of the bowl. If the dough is still clinging to the beater, add the remaining 1 egg and mix until incorporated.

Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip and pipe dollops roughly 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch high. Lightly wet a finger and tap down the spike on top. (For additional color during baking, you can brush the tops of the dough lightly with an egg wash.)

Bake for about 20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and appears dry. (Try not to open the oven door during the bake.) Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully poke holes in the side of each puff by inserting the tip of a small knife about halfway into the puff. Return to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes. Remove and let cool completely on the baking sheet. (You can turn the oven off and leave the puffs in the oven with the door cracked open after baking if you'd like them to really dry out.)

For the Choux Pastry:

Place the remaining 1 cup cold cream from the filling in a large bowl and beat until stiff peaks form. Remove the custard from the fridge and whisk it to break it up and smooth the texture out. Fold the whipped cream into the custard. Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip

Cut the tops of the cooled puffs off with a serrated knife. You can scoop out some of the softer strands inside, if desired. Pipe the cream filling into each pastry then place the cap on, and lightly dust with confectioners’ sugar. Cream puffs are best if enjoyed within a few hours of assembly. Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Homemade Cream Puffs are an easy elegant dessert! Golden Crispy Pastry is stuffed with an amazing whipped vanilla cream filling and finished off with powder sugar or chocolate ganache!

These lovely French cream puffs are sure to wow your guests at any party! Delicate and airy, these delicious French cream desserts, originally called choux a la crème, are the perfect way to indulge!

French cream puffs

tbsp butter

flour

beans vanilla

tbsp sugar

Powdered sugar

Line a baking sheet with parchment and pre heat oven at 390 F

Bring the milk to a gentle boil and then turn off heat. Add the seeds from the vanilla sticks and cover with a lid. Let the milk infuse with vanilla flavors.

In a medium large pot add water, milk (the one without vanilla), butter and a pinch of salt and bring to a rolling boil. Turn the heat off and remove the pan.

Immediately add flour, gradually, and mix well with a whisk until well combined and no lumps left.

Allow the dough to cool a little then add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each egg is added until fully incorporated. You need the composition to look and feel like soft chewing gum and be sticky. If not, add one more egg.

Transfer the dough to a large pastry bag fitted with a flower tip. Pipe rounds onto each prepared pan and do a little swirl for a more spectacular result. If you don&#39;t have a flower tip: with a spoon to drop a dollop of dough (about the size of a large walnut) in the baking sheet but not very close to each other (about 2&quot; apart).

Bake for about 20 minutes. Do not open the oven for the first 15 minutes!

When all dough is done and baked, let the puffs cool completely before cutting in half, horizontally.

To make the choux&#39;s

Take the 16 yolks and mix with sugar, beat well with a mixer until smooth. Then add flour and beat well. Add the vanilla infused milk gradually. Move everything to a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil while stirring continuously with a whisk until stiff.

Remove from heat and add butter.  Cool completely before using as filling for the choux&#39;s.
