Durian cream puff

Always wanted to do cream puff as the recipe look simple and it's so expensive to buy it outside. As it's durian season now, so durian cream puff is a must do cause it's so yummy (to durian lover like me) . 

Ingredients 

(Double portion)

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (114g)

- 1 cup water (240ml)

- 1 teaspoon salt (5g)

- 1 cup all purpose flour (150g) 

- 2 teaspoon sugar

- 4 eggs

Steps

1. Bring to boil butter, sugar, salt and water. 

2. Once boiled get pan off heat and add all the flour (shifted). Stir till combined.

3. Back to heat till form a dough & think layer at bottom. Let it cool for 5 min.

4. Add in beaten egg little by little till mixture is thick & shiny

5. Pipe onto baking tray and bake at 200 degree for 20 minutes. 

(Remember to wet your finger to press down the tips of puff mixture)

To make cream filling, just whip 1 cup whipping cream (240 ml) , 8 tablespoons sugar (60g) & 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract   till peak. For my durian filling, I simply add durian puree into the whipped cream. 

 

I like my puff to be eaten a bit warm but with cold filling. Enjoy 😋
