Strawberry Bavarian Cream Puffs

Strawberry Bavarian Cream Puffs

Cream puffs.  Just the thought of them might make the aspiring, novice home baker shudder and reel with feelings of inadequacy.  Would you believe that we have found them to be one of the easiest things to make?  Can you mix simple ingredients?  Can you fill a piping bag?  Can you use a cookie scoop?  You are ready.  Take a deep breath and get ready to make your very own cream puffs, which everybody will love and savor.

 

Strawberry Bavarian Cream Puffs

Strawberry Bavarian Cream Puffs

For the Cream Puffs

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter
Dash salt
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 eggs

For the Filling

1 cup Strawberry Bavarian Pastry Cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp unflavored gelatin
4 tsp water

Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease a baking sheet. In a medium saucepan combine the water, butter, and salt. Bring to boiling. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously. Cook and stir until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat. Cool for exactly 10 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each addition.
Drop heaping teaspoons of dough (I used a #70 cookie scoop) onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and firm. Cool.
Measure 1 cup strawberry bavarian pastry cream into a large bowl.  Set aside.
In a small pan, combine gelatin and cold water; let stand until thick.  Place over low heat, stirring constantly, just until the gelatin dissolves.  Remove from heat; cool (do not allow it to set).
Whip the cream with the powdered sugar, until slightly thick.  While slowly beating, add the gelatin to whipping cream.  Whip at high speed until stiff.
Add about 1/3 of the whipped cream to the pastry cream and stir to combine.  Add another 1/3 of the whipped cream and gently fold.  Repeat with the remaining 1/3.

Fill a pastry bag or a zip top bag fitted with a pastry tip or a small open star tip with the filling and squeeze into each cream puff. You may also cut the tops off of the cream puffs and spoon the filling in.
