CREAM PUFFS
what is a cream puffs?
A cream puff is a dessert made with choux pastry dough and a filling such as whipped cream, custard, or ice cream. The light, airy pastry dough pairs with the heavier dairy product to make a rich, dense, flavorful dessert which is often dressed with chocolate or caramel sauce. The recipe for choux pastry is relatively simple, and it serves as the base for a variety of desserts including profiteroles, eclairs, and beignets. Once the basic puff pastry has been mastered, cooks can experiment with a variety of cream puff fillings and sauces.
The cream puff dough is a unique type of pastry dough, because it is cooked before baking to form a thick paste. It also has a high water content, which steams the pastry as it cooks, causing it to puff up dramatically. The cream puff is characterized by large airy pockets enclosed by thin layers of dough when it is made well. While many consumers associate the cream puff with desserts, cooks can also make savory fillings and use cream puffs as appetizers.
