Makes 6 Individual Desserts
PRINT RECIPE HERE bit.ly/3gVF38H
INGREDIENTS:
Cream Puff Shells:
1/2 cup flour (60g)
1 Tbsp sugar (13g)
1/4 tsp salt (1.25ml)
4 Tbsp Butter (60g)
1/2 cup water (120ml)
2 eggs, beaten
Pastry Cream:
2 cups (475ml) milk
1/3 cup (65g) sugar
1 vanilla bean, scraped of its seeds
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup (35g) cornstarch
1 Tbsp (15g) butter
Raspberry Icing:
1 Tbsp (15ml) Raspberry Juice
7 Tbsp (45g) Powdered Sugar
Whipped Cream:
2 Cups (475ml) Heavy Cream
2 Tbsp (13g) Powdered Sugar
1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
METHOD:
For the pastry shells:
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside. Simmer the water and butter until melted. Add the flour and stir until a dough forms and pulls away from the side. Add the beaten eggs, and whisk until combined and smooth.
Transfer to a pastry bag and pipe 18 small mounds. About the size of a quarter. To flatten peaks, use the back of a spoon that has been dipped in water.
Bake at 400F for 10 mins. Then reduce oven to 350F and bake for 35 mins. Then turn the oven off, open the oven door slightly and allow to cool down for 20 mins.
For the pastry cream:
In a large bowl add 4 egg yolks and the cornstarch. Whisk to combine. And set aside.
In a medium, saucepot add the milk, sugar, and vanilla paste and pod. Simmer until hot. Fish out the vanilla pod.
Slowly add 1-2 ladles of the hot milk to the egg mixture and whisk to combine. This will bring the eggs up to temperature and prevent them from scrambling. Then add the rest of the milk mixture. Whisk to combine.
Then pour the mixture into a cleaned-out saucepan. Simmer on a medium-high flame, whisking all the while until thickened. It should have a pudding-like consistency. Transfer to a heat-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled.
For the pastry shells. Create a hole in the bottom with a small round pastry tip. Then hollow out the inside a bit with a skewer.
Transfer the pastry cream to a pastry bag. Pipe the cream into the shells. Place the filled shells back on the tray and refrigerated (uncovered) until ready to assemble.
For the puff pastry:
Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Cut out 4" rounds with a ramekin. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Prick with a fork. Then place another sheet of parchment paper on top. And a second cookie sheet. Bake at 400F (200C) for 20 mins. Then allow to cool.
For the whipped cream.
Place everything in a stand mixer, and whip on high until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip.
For the raspberry icing:
Place the raspberries in a fine-mesh sieve, and press them through with the help of a spoon, to release 1 Tbsp of their juice. Whisk in the powdered sugar, 1 Tbsp at a time, until a thick icing forms.
Dip the tops of each cream puff into the icing, allowing the excess to drip off over the bowl.
Place 3 cream puffs on the baked pastry rounds, affixing with the pastry cream. Then pipe the whipped cream in between the cream puffs, and one mound on the top.
Garnish with a candied flower petal (or mint leaf) and top with a fresh raspberry. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

As a French chef, it makes me so happy to see this dessert! Such a classic french pastry, I love it! Thank you!

[@anaself6603]

I love that you showed a hack when you ran out of something in the kitchen. I think people get really worried when they are missing something like that and showing you just work around it really helps new cooks.

[@stpatrickschoir]

Wonderful recipe, Beth! I love the bonus recipe for the scraps!

Oh yes! That's such an easy and yummy one to use of the leftover pieces of puff pastry! Great with a glass of something bubbly :) Hope you enjoy!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@aliceflanagan9369]

Well done Beth. Gonna try and make it. So talented..... Hands Speech and grooming chef

[@dianerichards6015]

Such a beautiful dessert. Did you go to school to become a chef because the way you bake and cook is unbelievable. This dessert looks so easy when you do it, such beautiful presentations.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! No school. Just worked in a couple of bakeries/restaurants while growing up. And then 20 years ago I married a Frenchman and spending time in France and cooking with my in-laws has helped too! :) So glad you enjoy!

[@Trine4690]

That looks amazing! Do you think it would be too overpowering if you replaced the icing with Dark chocolate?

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Not at all! That would be great too! ❤️

[@sharonhaykal4976]

Great recipe Beth as Always,can i ise the same raspberry icing for cupcakes,

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh sure you could do that, the icing does dry hard so it might be better for cookies or dripped in Madeleines :) Or just add the raspberry juice to my cream cheese frosting seen in this video :) Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGSbZmOXgtJprNE

[@nbr4769]
