👩🍳 Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Choux Pastry
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil.
3️⃣ Reduce heat to low, add flour all at once, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides.
4️⃣ Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
5️⃣ Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
6️⃣ Using a spoon or piping bag, drop small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
7️⃣ Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
8️⃣ Cool completely before filling.
Step 2: Make the Cream Filling
9️⃣ In a chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Step 3: Fill the Cream Puffs
🔟 Slice each puff in half and pipe or spoon the cream into the center. Alternatively, use a piping bag with a small tip to fill them from the bottom.
✨ Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate for extra indulgence!
💡 Pro Tips:
✔ Don’t open the oven while baking—this prevents deflation!
✔ Store in the refrigerator and fill just before serving for maximum freshness.
✔ Try different fillings like pastry cream, custard, or chocolate mousse.
