How to Make Chocolate Cream Puffs There are so many amazing things going for these chocolate cream puffs, starting with the chocolate pate a choux, or the base for the pastries. The dough has no sugar, resulting in the perfect shell for the sweet filling. Pate a choux is can seem a bit intimidating but it’s actually super easy to make and requires very few ingredients. The most important step about making any puff pastry is the baking process – keep that oven door closed! Any cold draft of air will knock the pastry flat! The Caramel Filling To complement the simple chocolate cream puff shells, I use an almond-flavored caramel French buttercream. If you haven’t tried my French buttercream recipe, try it here! It’s simply the best; my favorite buttercream! It’s super silky, smooth and not too sweet. This almond caramel buttercream is the perfect filling, making this dessert taste like an authentic French pastry! My French buttercream calls for 5 egg yolks. If you’re looking for a way to use up those egg whites, try out some of my recipes, such as these Almond Roca Macarons, or this stunning Chocolate Pavlova Cake. Almond Roca Macarons: https://tatyanaseverydayfood.com/recipe-items/almond-roca-macarons/ For the caramel component of the frosting, I add the most amazing home-made caramel sauce! I use this caramel sauce for any recipe that calls for caramel. It’s really easy to make and perfect with your morning latte. If you don’t have the time to make your own caramel sauce, a store bought caramel or dulce de leche will work great, too! And, for some texture and flavor, I add crushed Almond Roca candy and sliced almonds. Just place the candy into a plastic bag, grab a rolling pin or meat mallet, and crush the candy to bits. For my video recipe, I also added bits of gold leaf to each chocolate cream puff. I purchased mine online on Amazon! It’s a great addition to any dessert! You can also use this recipe to make eclairs! They look just as impressive! Enjoyed this recipe? Save and share it on Pinterest! More Recipes! Looking for more cream puff recipes?
