Ingredients

Scale

For the choux pastry:

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs

For the strawberry cream filling:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped

For garnish:

  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Fresh strawberry slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the choux pastry:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a medium saucepan, combine water, milk, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil.
    • Reduce heat to low and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
    • Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until smooth and glossy.
    • Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe 2-inch mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Do not open the oven during baking. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. Prepare the strawberry cream filling:
    • In a large bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
  3. Assemble the cream puffs:
    • Slice each cooled puff in half horizontally. Spoon or pipe the strawberry cream filling into the bottom half of each puff, then replace the top half.
    • Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with strawberry slices if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the puffs are completely cool before adding the cream filling to prevent melting.
  • Choux pastry can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
