Instructions

  1. Make the choux pastry dough.
  2. Transfer the dough to a piping back with a 1A or similar baking tip.
  3. Squeeze about 4 tablespoons of the dough while slowly lifting up onto a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake in the oven on a middle rack at 400° for 30 to 35 minutes or until browned and firm outside.
  5. Set the cream puffs aside to cool to room temperature.
  6. Slice the cream puffs in half, leaving a thinner bottom and a bigger top piece.
  7. Place the bottom slices on a sheet tray with parchment paper and add 1/3 to ½ cup of cream filling. You can use a scooper or a piping bag with a 357-baking tip or a similar decorative dip.
  8. Place the top slices onto the filling of the cream puffs. In addition, you can add the cream puffs to the refrigerator and serve chilled.
  9. Garnish with powdered sugar.
  10. You can eat these immediately, or you can freeze them all and eat frozen.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: You can make the cream puffs up to 2 days ahead of time as long as they are separated from the cream filling.
  • How to Store: Keep the cream puffs separate from the cream filling in the refrigerator and cover it for up to 5 days. The cream puffs will freeze well covered for up to 3 months. It’s best to eat them frozen once you freeze them.
  • Other filling options are flavored whipped cream with fresh berries, pastry cream, crème diplomat, crème mousseline, and Italian custard; the possibilities are endless.
  • You should be able to get about 9 to 12 cream puffs per baking sheet.
  • You can also drizzle a little honey over the top of the cream puffs.
