Raspberry and White Chocolate Cream Puffs

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
  • Filling ingredients below

Filling:

  • 1 cup (200g) fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup (60g) white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter, softened

Instructions:

Pastry Dough:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the softened butter and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Gradually add the milk, mixing until a smooth ball of dough is formed.
  5. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 2-3 minutes, until elastic.
  6. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
  7. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it slightly into a disk shape.
  8. Place the disks onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each puff.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Filling:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries and granulated sugar.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened slightly, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  4. Melt the white chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch and salt.
  6. Add the softened butter and melted white chocolate to the cornstarch mixture, mixing until smooth.

Assembly:

  1. Once the cream puffs are cool, use a pastry bag or a plastic bag with a corner cut off to pipe a small border around the top of each puff.
  2. Spoon about 1 tablespoon (15g) of raspberry filling into each cream puff.
  3. Drizzle a small amount of white chocolate mixture over the filling.

Notes:

  • These cream puffs are best served on the day they're made, as the pastry will start to lose its crunch after a few hours.
  • You can make the pastry dough and filling ahead of time and store them in separate containers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
