Strawberry Chocolate Cream Puffs

Cream puff is one of my favorite desserts that I thought it would be very complicated to make but actually it’s not. This puff is filled with chocolate whipped cream and fresh strawberries.


Ingredients:
Dough
• 1 cup water
• 1 stick of butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 eggs

Filling
• 1 1/2cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 2 tablespoon baking cocoa

Glaze
• 1 ounce square unsweetened chocolate
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 2 tablespoons water

Some fresh strawberries cut in half

In a saucepan over medium heat, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let it stand for 5 minutes. Using a stand mixer in medium speed; add egg in dough one at the time until dough smooth and had a creamy texture.

Cover a baking sheet with foil; grease foil. Used piping bag with star nozzle to shaped the puff.

Bake 400 degree for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 350 degree and bake for another 30 minutes longer or until puff turned light brown.

Remove puffs to a wire rack. Immediately cut a slit in each one of them for steam to escape.

Using a stand mixer in medium speed, beat heavy whipped cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and cocoa, beating until almost stiff.
Add filling and fresh strawberries.
Melt chocolate and butter; stir in sugar and water. Drizzle over puffs. Chill.
