Yummy Chocolate Strawberry Cream Puffs Recipe
- 10 strawberries
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 3 eggs
-
Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C.
-
Cut the tops off the strawberries and cut into pieces. Set aside.
-
In a pot over low heat, combine egg yolks, heavy cream, sugar, and cornstarch. Turn the heat up to medium-high, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps.
-
Once the mixture starts to thicken, add in the strawberries, stirring until smooth.
-
Transfer the cream mixture into a bowl, covering the top with plastic wrap and pressing the wrap down onto the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming. Chill.
-
In a pot, combine the water and butter, bringing it to a boil. Add the flour and stir until the dough comes together in a ball. Remove from heat.
-
Add in the vanilla and eggs one a time, stirring until the dough becomes a paste. Transfer the dough into a piping bag with a large round tip.
-
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pipe 1-inch mounds.
-
Bake for 20 minutes until the pastry has risen considerably and the insides are dry.
-
Transfer the chilled pastry cream into a piping bag with a small tip. Poke a hole in the center of the bottom of each cream puff and fill each puff with the pastry cream.
-
Microwave the chocolate at 30-second intervals until smooth. Mix in coconut oil if using.
-
Dip the top of each filled cream puff into the chocolate, dripping off any excess.
- Enjoy!
