Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup passionfruit puree (fresh or canned)
- Zest of 1 lime
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, butter, and salt, bringing it to a rolling boil.
- Once boiling, remove the pan from heat and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
- Allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes before incorporating the eggs one by one, mixing until smooth.
- Using a piping bag fitted with a large round tip, pipe 1.5-inch circles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden brown, avoiding opening the oven door during baking.
- While the puffs cool, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold in the passionfruit puree and lime zest to create the filling.
- Once cooled, slice the puffs in half horizontally and fill the bottom halves with the passionfruit cream.
- Stack two filled puffs on top of each other for each serving and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is smooth and shiny after adding the eggs.
- Do not open the oven door while baking to maintain puffiness.
- Fresh passionfruit puree can enhance the flavor.
