Ingredients
 

Choux:

  • 225 ml Water
  • 65 g Butter
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 125 g Flour
  • 2 Eggs

Vanilla cream:

  • 1 Qimiq vanilla
  • 125 ml Cream
  • 2 tbsp Sugar

to sprinkle:

  • 2 tbsp Powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Choux:

  • Bring the water and butter to the boil with the salt.
  • Pour in the flour all at once and stir in until the dough separates from the pan and a white layer forms on the bottom. Put the dough in a bowl and let cool down a little.
  • Stir in the eggs one after the other with the kneading dough. Pour the dough into a pointed pouch with a large star nozzle.
  • Draw a circle with a diameter of 26 cm on the back of a sheet of baking paper and use a cake divider to mark the distances for 12 pieces of cake. So the wreath becomes 1. round and 2. all cream puffs are the same size.
  • Now use the piping bag to dress 12 cream puffs at each indicated distance.
  • Bake in the preheated oven with top and bottom heat at 210 ° for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Important: do not open the oven for the first 20 minutes, otherwise the dough will collapse.
  • Since the choux pastry is sugar-free, it can withstand the heat well and can be filled both sweet and savory.
  • Cut off the lids of the cream puffs with a knife while they are still warm.

Vanilla cream:

  • Beat the unrefrigerated QimiQ and sugar with the whisk until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream - done.

Finish:

  • Squirt vanilla cream into each cream puff, sprinkle the lid with powdered sugar and place on the cream.
