  • Yield: 20 large choux

Ingredients

  • 350 g choux pastry
  • 450 g Chantilly cream
  • 1 beaten egg, to glaze

How to Make It
  1. Make the choux pastry following the method, up to step 6.
  2. On a non-stick tray, pipe the choux pastry into domes 4 cm in diameter, in staggered rows, 6 cm apart. Brush them with beaten egg and bake with a small ramekin filled with boiling water (80 ml) at the bottom of the oven without opening the oven door (otherwise choux will collapse). Cool on a wire rack.
  3. Make the Chantilly cream following the method, fill a piping bag fitted with a fluted nozzle and keep it in the fridge.
  4. Remove the top of the choux with a serrated knife and fill them with the Chantilly cream.
  5. Put the lids back on and sprinkle the Chantilly choux with icing sugar using a very fine sieve.
