  • step 1
    ingredients Cooking Spray
    instructions For the Cream Puffs: Preheat oven to 400F, and line sheet pans with parchment. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
  • step 2
    ingredients 1 cup Unsalted Butter
    2 cups Water
    1 Pinch Salt
    2 cups Unbleached Flour
    instructions In a medium pot, bring water, butter, and salt and a boil. Add all flour at once, turning heat down to medium-low and begin to beat until mixture pulls away from sides and forms a ball.
  • step 3
    ingredients 7 Eggs
    instructions Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat at medium speed until cooled slightly. Turn speed up to high and add the eggs, one at a time, until full incorporated. Do not add the next egg until current egg is full incorporated.
  • step 4
    ingredients   
    instructions When dough comes together, around 10 minutes, transfer to piping bag. Pipe 3" rounds onto the parchment lined sheet pan, leaving space between each.
  • step 5
    ingredients    
    instructions Bake for about 40 minutes, until outside is golden brown and the inside of the puffs sound hollow. Cool completely before filling.
  • step 6
    ingredients 2 cups Whole Milk
    5 Large Egg Yolks
    1 cup Sugar
    1/4 cup Cornstarch
    1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
    instructions For the Cream Filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch. Place over a low heat whisking gently just until the mixture bubbles, about 15 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl. Stir in vanilla extract. Press plastic wrap directly on the top of the cream and place in fridge to cool completely, approximately 2 hours.
  • step 7
    ingredients    
    instructions To fill the puffs, transfer the pastry cream to a piping bag, with a medium tip. Use the tip to break a small hole in the puff, and fill.
  • step 8
    ingredients 1/2 cup Unsalted Buttet at Room temperature (cut into tablespoon-sized pieces)
    8 ounce Semisweet chocolate chips
    instructions To Dip in Chocolate: Heat chocolate in a double boiler. Add the room temperature butter, a piece at a time, melting into the butter. Dip puffs into mixture. 
  • step 9
