Ingredients
  

Choux Pastry
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 8 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
Cream Filling
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 4 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 28 raspberries, optional
  • 1 Tbsp powdered sugar, to garnish

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • mixing bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Piping bag
  • Baking sheet
  • wire rack

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 425?F and line a rimmed baking sheet with Silpat or parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in flour all at once with a wooden spoon.
  3. Place mixture back over medium heat and stir constantly for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until a thin film forms on the bottom and dough becomes a smooth ball.
  4. Transfer dough to a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed for 1 minute to cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Beat for another minute until smooth and thick.
  5. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2" round tip. Pipe 28 puffs, each 1 1/2? in diameter and 1/2? tall, keeping them 1" apart.
  6. Bake at 425?F for 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 325?F and bake for an additional 20-22 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until fluffy with stiff peaks (about 2 minutes). Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip.
  2. Once puffs are cooled, fill them with cream using one of two methods: either pipe cream into the side of the puffs or cut off the tops and pipe cream inside, adding a raspberry if desired, then replace the tops. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
