Ingredients
- 240 ml Water
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 4 large Eggs
- 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 grams Sugar-free sweetener (such as stevia or erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Step 4
Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. The dough should be smooth and glossy.
Step 6
Spoon or pipe small mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Turn off the oven and let the puffs dry out in the oven for 5-10 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 8
For the chocolate cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Step 9
Add cocoa powder, sugar-free sweetener, and vanilla extract to the whipped cream.
Step 10
Continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
Step 11
To assemble, cut the top third off each puff and fill the lower part with the chocolate cream using a pastry bag or spoon.
Step 12
Replace the tops and dust with a bit of additional cocoa powder if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
