Ingredients

• 120 ml Water
• 60 g Unsalted butter
• 10 g Granulated sugar
• 1 pinch Salt
• 75 g All-purpose flour
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 240 ml Heavy cream (for cherry filling)
• 60 g Cherry preserves
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 100 g Dark chocolate (for ganache)
• 60 ml Heavy cream (for ganache)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring 120ml of water, 60g of unsalted butter, 10g of sugar, and a pinch of salt to a boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in 75g of all-purpose flour until it forms a smooth dough.

Step 4

Return the saucepan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes to dry the dough. It should pull away from the sides of the pan.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. The dough should be smooth and glossy.

Step 7

Spoon or pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 8 small mounds, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the puffs are golden and crisp.

Step 9

Remove the cream puffs from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 10

For the cherry filling, whip 240ml of heavy cream with 60g of cherry preserves and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag.

Step 11

Cut each cooled cream puff in half and pipe the cherry cream filling generously into the bottom halves. Replace the tops.

Step 12

For the ganache drizzle, heat 60ml of heavy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer (do not boil).

Step 13

Pour the hot cream over 100g of chopped dark chocolate in a bowl and let it sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 14

Drizzle the ganache over the filled cream puffs using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 15

Refrigerate the cream puffs for 15 minutes to allow the ganache to set or serve immediately for a gooier presentation.
