A crunchy cream puff called choux au craquelin in French.
It has a top cookie crust that makes it a little more special compared to regular cream puff.
Here it is filled with mascarpone that tastes creamy but not overly sweetened.

Cooking Instructions

Youtu.be/KrMY5nthyGk
2

Cookie crust: Mix butter and sugar until creamy with a hand whisk or spatula. Sieve in the flour. Mix just until combined.
3

Place the dough in between 2 large sheets of parchment paper. Roll it with a rolling pin into a thickness of 1-2 mm. Freeze it as is for 20 minutes.
4

Choux pastry: Place butter and water into a pot. Cook over medium heat until it boils.
5

Remove from heat. Stir in flour and salt to combine. Cook again over medium heat and constantly stir for 1-2 minutes until it becomes a ball. Remove from heat and let it chill to lukewarm. Occasionally stir to expedite the cooling.
6

Once cool, gradually add 2 beaten eggs into the dough while mixing (dough will break but eventually come together). Mix until it becomes a smooth thick paste.
7

Transfer the dough into a piping bag equipped with a medium-size piping tip. Pipe 12 rounds of dough onto a tray that has been lined with parchment paper. Space them at least 5cm apart.
8

Take out the chilled cookie dough. Remove the paper from its top. Using a round cookie cutter that has a larger diameter than the choux pastry, cut-out as many circles. Re-roll the dough and cut out more circles until there are 12 in total. Place 1 cookie dough on top of each pastry dough.
9

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, then lower to 350°F (180°C) and bake for another 20-23 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
10

Mascarpone filling: Using a hand whisk or electric mixer, beat the whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla until thickened. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until stiff peak.
11

Transfer into a piping bag equipped with a small piping tip. Poke a hole at the bottom of each cream puff with a slightly larger piping tip. Then pipe enough cream into each. Enjoy!

Your recipes just truly bless my kitchen. I made these with margarine instead of butter since it was all I had, and I use fino whip instead of whipping cream. They turned out perfect and so tasty I’ll go for seconds

Learning new baking recipes/techniques is one of my goals for 2025. I’ve always wanted to make choux pastry, but it seemed intimidating. However, once I tried it. I realized that as long as I was patient and followed specific instructions, I could attain success! 🤩It helps to have a good recipe, and this one comes from Natasha‘s Kitchen. She also has an instructional video on YouTube, which I found to be quite helpful.As a side note, I recently finished watching the first 2 seasons of the anime “Mashle.” The main character loves cream puffs, so this was another reason I had to try this recipe! 🤣#january2026 #newyear2025 #French #pastry #baking #sweet #dessert #special

So you can imagine how many years I’ve been making it!!I usually make it in the form of a “coca” (a flat pastry), but this time, since I was bringing dessert to a friend’s house and there were going to be quite a few of us, I made individual portions!Come on, give them a try if you’re having lunch or dinner with friends or family… You’ll definitely impress everyone!

I made choux pastry for the first time in ages and it came out tasting really good. Adding almonds to the choux pastry makes it smell so amazing, I really love this recipe. (Makes 12-13 7cm cream puffs)Please get these in the oven as quickly as possible while it's still warm. If you can't get it to pipe out properly put the mixture back in the bowl and keep it heated at an appropriate temperature suspended over a bowl of hot water.Baking time will vary depending on your oven so please adjust it accordingly.(Recipe by nyonta)

I wanted to eat cream puffs.If you use too little egg, or too much egg, the don't turn out well, so add the egg a little at a time. Prepare more egg than you may actually use; that's why I suggested 2 to 2 1/2 large eggs. For 16 (6 cm [2.4 in] diameter). Recipe by Bull Baron
