Cream Puffs w/ a Cookie Topping

I am finally done writing my cream puff post. I have been very busy with school and all the other stuff I need to do. Like I mentioned in my last post, I made these puffs during the summer. However, I was too lazy to write a post until now.

I got the recipe from My Buttery Fingers. Her puffs looked so beautiful and delicious that I knew I had to try the recipe. Wendy said that it was as good as Beard Papa's. I agree, these puffs were pretty good. The chocolate cookie crust made these puffs hard to resist. Sadly, I wasn't able to make the pastry cream from scratch because I also made tuna heart buns on the same day and by the time I finished I was too tired. So instead, I made instant vanilla pudding for the pastry cream. Now, that won't compare to real pastry cream so one day I will have to try making these again.

Cut off that little corner. It's better to leave a little space so you won't touch the dough with your scissors.

Here's the cookie topping.

Very easy to make.

  2. Very detailed post with pics. Love the idea of topping puffs with cookies, producing more textures.

  3. Von, If you ever see a Beard Papa's you should go in and try something. They are really good, the made me like cream puffs even though I didn't like them before. Thanks. :) Baking is tiring if you're multi"baking" XD

    Christine, Credit to My Buttery Fingers. I never would have thought of this. ^_^

  7. Hi Esther! How did you put the pudding into the cream puffs since they're so small? I baked some last week but I had to cut them open :(

  8. Hi Isabel! :) Well actually I had to do that too, but you can't see that in these pics because I didn't have the cream in yet. However, the other alternative is insert a pastry bag tip into the puff and pipe in the pudding. I think you can just use a ziploc bag and make a makeshift aluminum foil tip because you don't have a pastry bag right? Have a good week!
