Cream Puff, Choux Pastry Love! =)


I have good news! More free time in my hands now joyous! This means more pastry for you and me =) More time to have more consistent blog posts. winks =) So let me introduce you to choux pastry, what cream puffs are made of. It's quite magical how they work..It's liquid-y when you place them in the oven but then within minutes..TADAA! Poof-y golden brown cream puff rising happily in the all so hot oven =) I have made them many many time and some people have tried them too but through many attempts I have much improved from  before well at least I like to think so hehe..


They are very versatile which is why I love making them..I made a few variations this time..the first is Strawberry and Chocolate Cream sandwiched in between the warm buttery aroma cream puff and topped with icing sugar to give it a snowy feeling =) yes it's quite tempting isn't it? hehe..strawberries! *hearts*




Next up! Éclairs..sounds very French =) Well usually I make them smaller in size but I wanted to try something else and I've realised smaller is better this time cause they pop faster into my mouth haha  =)..and usually I make them with regular pastry cream but wanted to be a little out of the box so attempted chocolate one, which was good too! thumbs up..Topped with chocolate and some almond flakes too..the chocolate looks so shiny! wait till till you see the last one =0!



Profiteroles! one of the best dessert after dinner =) You know why? Cause it has one other favorite dessert of  mine...ICE CREAM! =) jumps for joy! hopes it burns calories at the same time..Well anyway it's also easier too, cause it saves me the effort from making the cream haha =) Imagine ice cold vanilla ice cream in between buttery cream puff and poured warm chocolate! omg I bet you're thinking what I was thinking, too bad you weren't there to eat it with me..haha! *evil smiles* This one is my love out of the 3 =) I hope inspired the cream puff in you and more pictures for your enjoyment =) Will update real soon! heh heh! ^^









shiny shiny chocolate =)
