Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry
- Choux pastry:
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup milk
- ½ tablespoon sugar
- ½ tablespoon salt
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup flour
- 4 eggs
- Custard:
- 3 egg yolks
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons powdered milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 vanilla pod, scraped
- 1 cup milk
- Caramel:
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- ⅓ cup water
- Vanilla whipped cream:
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 vanilla pod, scraped
- ½ cup mascarpone
- 2 cups whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For the choux pastry: In a saucepan, add the water, milk, sugar, salt and butter. Cook over low heat, stirring regularly. Once combined, remove pan from heat and slowly mix in the flour. Transfer to a mixing bowl and mix in the eggs one at a time. Transfer dough to a pastry bag, and pipe circles onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes then remove and let cool.
- For the custard: In a mixing bowl, combine egg yolks, sugar, powdered milk, butter and vanilla bean. In a small saucepan, heat the milk. Once the milk is hot, remove from heat and combine with the egg yolk mixture. Return mixture to stove and cook over medium heat until a thick custard is formed. Transfer to a piping bag, and fill each pastry puff with custard.
- Increase oven to 320 degrees. Bake the puff pastry sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a serving tray.
- For the caramel: In a saucepan, add sugar and water. Bring to a boil and cook until caramelized.
- For the whipped cream: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add sugar, vanilla bean, mascarpone and whipping cream. Beat until soft peaks form.
- Dip the pastry puffs in the caramel. Drizzle puffed pastry with caramel sauce, then use the custard-filled puffs to form a circle around the edge of the puff pastry. Pipe remaining custard into the center of the circle. Pipe whipped cream over the dessert, and garnish with a vanilla bean. Enjoy!
