Choux Pastry

Triple Chocolate Cream Puffs (Choux Craquelin)

Triple Chocolate Cream Puffs (Choux Craquelin), Pastry Maestra

W

is better than a cream puff? Chocolate cream puff, of course! And what is even better that a chocolate cream puff? Well, I’d say triple chocolate cream puffs, but – you’ll be the judge of that!

Gluten free Pistachio and Raspberry Choux Craquelin

T

oday I’m making gluten free pistachio and raspberry choux craquelin. Why gluten free? Well, I have lots of friends who don’t eat gluten, and – since I love them, I wanted to make them happy, simple as that!

Churros for Dessert! Olé!

hat is crunchy, hollow on the inside, heavily ridged on the outside, often rolled in cinnamon sugar, and best when dipped into a chocolate sauce! Es un churro delicioso, sí señor! Olé!

Cream Puffs or Choux à la Crème Craquelin

Craquelin, Pastry Maestra

C

ream puff is one of the most known desserts ever. It is a ball of baked choux pastry, cut and filled with Chantilly cream or crème pâtissière. These little sweet snacks are not difficult to make, especially if you already know how to make perfect pâte à choux. However, that won’t be enough for today’s recipe.

Paris-Brest, the Most Delicious Bicycle Wheel

Paris Brest chef Tereza Alabanda Pastry Maestra

I

have a confession to make. Embarrassingly, I couldn’t ride a bicycle until just a few years ago, believe it or not! I couldn’t hold the balance, and I was scared of falling. Who likes to fall on the tarmac? Not me! At the same time, my nephew (age 4) learned the skill in one afternoon and became the ruler of the nearby parking lot! Although I can ride the bike now, there is another type of wheels that I prefer much more – the sweet, cream-filled ones!

Chouquettes – the Lipstick’s Nemeses

“H

air? Check! Nails? Check! Makeup? Check and check! Finally I’m ready to go! Oh, look – chouquettes! Mmmm…I’ll just have one! Darn! Now I have to do my lipstick again…but it was worth it!”

Caramel Choux Buns

mm, there is something irresistible about the combination of well chilled, silky vanilla crème pâtissière, a crispy choux bun, and a thin, crunchy caramel coating.
