Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon raspberry extract
• 2 drops red or pink food coloring
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, and salt. Heat over medium-high heat until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a smooth ball. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the pan from heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip, or use a spoon to drop tablespoon-sized mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each mound.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and feel firm to the touch. Do not open the oven while baking.

Step 8

Remove the puffs from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

While the puffs cool, make the raspberry whipped cream by beating the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, raspberry extract, and food coloring together in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.

Step 10

Using a small knife, cut a slit in the side of each puff and pipe the raspberry whipped cream into the center using a piping bag, or gently spoon it in.

Step 11

Dust the filled puffs with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.

Step 12

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
