Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold and cut into cubes
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs

Pastry Cream

  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • pinch salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter cold
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Topping

  • 4 oz semisweet chocolate chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream hot

Instructions

Make the Cream Puffs

  • In a large pot, combine the water, butter, sugar and salt. Set to high heat and bring to a boil. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon mix until a film forms on the bottom of the pan. Transfer the dough to a bowl and cool for 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously and completely incorporating each egg after each addition.
  • Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large, round piping tip and pipe 1 ½-inch rounds onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Wet your fingers and smooth any pointed peaks.
  • Bake them at 375F for 30 minutes. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

Make the Pastry Cream

  • Combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a pot. Add the milk, egg yolks and butter and whisk together. Set to medium heat and whisk constantly until it comes to a boil. Once it thickens, remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract.
  • Strain through a sieve and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface. Refrigerate until chilled, 1-2 hours. If the pastry cream becomes lumpy, pulse in a food processor a couple times. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Slice the cream puffs in half. Pipe a generous dollop of cream between the two layers.

Make the Glaze

  • Pour the cream over the chocolate and whisk until smooth.
  • Drizzle on top of the cream puffs and enjoy!
