Cream Puffs

This classic dessert is easier to make than you think. The ultimate combination of pasty, cream and chocolate makes it a definite crowd pleaser. Recipe by Karen Argento.


Ingredients

55 grams Devondale Unsalted Butter
1 cup water
Pinch of salt
1 cup flour
3 beaten eggs
250ml Devondale Long Life Thickened Cream
50g dark chocolate, melted
Icing sugar


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 200ºC or 180ºC for fan-forced.
  2. Bring to the boil butter, water and salt in a medium saucepan.
  3. Add the flour, then cook over a gentle heat, while mixing delicately, until mixture forms one lump. Remove from heat and cool (approx. 5 minutes).
  4. Add the well-beaten eggs a little at a time until combined and mixture is glossy.
  5. Pipe tablespoons of mixture onto a lined baking tray and bake in a hot oven for 10 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to moderate and cook for a further 20 minutes. Remember not to open the oven during cooking!
  7. Whip cream until thickened. Sandwich puffs with cream. Drizzle with melted chocolate or dust with icing sugar.
