COCOA PUFFS



Cocoa Puffs image

These are cream puffs with a chocolate filling and a buttery thick frosting. While recently on vacation in Oahu, we had these at the Liliha Bakery. They are famous for these and sell 5000 a day! Upon arriving home, I looked for a recipe, and pieced this one together from 3 different recipes, recipe #209826 for the choux pastry, recipe #65220 for the chocolate pastry cream filling, and a recipe that was given to me for the chantilly frosting. These are a little bit of work, but the filling and frosting can be made ahead. Absolutely delicious and worth the effort, transports me back to Hawaii! Cooling and assembly time not included in total time.

Time 2h15m

Yield 42 cocoa puffs, 21 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup water
4 ounces butter
1 cup flour
4 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon butter
2 ounces baking chocolate, grated
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
3 egg yolks, beaten
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Choux Pastry:.
  • Heat oven to 400°F.
  • Put the water and butter in a saucepan and heat to boiling.
  • Remove from heat, add the flour and stir until a ball of dough forms and pulls away from the side of the pan.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Scoop onto foil-lined baking sheet. I used a pastry bag with a wide tip to make little balls. Make them small, approximately an inch in diameter or so, you want these to be one or two bites per puff.
  • Bake at 400 for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 325 and bake for 30 minutes, or until dry-looking. When done, they should easily be removed from the foil.
  • Allow to cool completely. I left them in the (cold) oven overnight.
  • Chocolate Pastry Cream Filling:.
  • Put sugar, egg yolks, flour and vanilla into a saucepan and mix well.
  • In a separate saucepan, and milk and butter and heat to scalding.
  • Very slowly, add the milk mixture to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
  • Cook on low heat, stirring, until the mixture reaches the boiling point.
  • Cook 4 minutes longer, stirring constantly.
  • Add the grated chocolate and cook one minute longer.
  • Remove from heat, pour into a bowl and let cool, stirring occasionally.
  • Once cool, press plastic wrap to the surface (to keep a skin from forming) and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Note that this filling is not very sweet, you may want to add more sugar to taste.
  • Chantilly Frosting:.
  • Combine milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter, vanilla and salt in a saucepan. Use a large saucepan as the mixture bubbles and spits during cooking.
  • Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick, approximately 12 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and continue to stir until cool and thick.
  • Use immediately or refrigerate for later use (it will become quite thick but still spreadable).
  • Assembly:.
  • Use the tip of a knife to make a small hole in the bottom of each pastry puff.
  • Using a pastry bag, fill the puffs with the chocolate pastry cream filling.
  • Frost the tops of the puffs with the chantilly frosting, My frosting was pretty thick, but I could still spread it with a butter knife.
  • Enjoy! Store leftovers in the refrigerator but they won't last long!

CHOCOLATE CREAM PUFFS



Chocolate Cream Puffs image

Chocolate puffs with chocolate cream filling are a favorite with this family. They aren't difficult to make and most of the required time is hands off. This was my mother's recipe and she made it once a year, usually at Christmas. I hope that you enjoy these as much as we do!

Categories     Desserts     Chocolate Dessert Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup water
¼ cup shortening (such as Crisco®)
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 pinch salt
2 eggs, at room temperature
⅓ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup whipping cream
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
2 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet lightly with some shortening. Put beaters into the freezer to chill.
  • Combine water and shortening in a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt all at once and reduce heat to low. Stir mixture vigorously until it leaves the sides of the pan and forms a ball, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
  • Beat in eggs, one at a time, with chilled beaters, beating vigorously after each addition until batter is smooth and glossy. Drop dough into 6 mounds on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and dry, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and pierce the side of each puff with a knife to allow steam to escape. Transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely, abut 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine sugar, cocoa powder and whipping cream in a bowl for the filling. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Cut cooled puffs in half horizontally. Fill with cocoa whipped cream.
  • For the glaze, pour whipping cream into a small pot and heat until hot. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted. Allow to cool slightly. Drizzle chocolate glaze over the cream puffs and refrigerate until serving.

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder: This will give you a more intense chocolate flavor without adding extra sugar.
  • Add a pinch of salt: This will help to balance the sweetness of the cereal and make the chocolate flavor pop.
  • Don't overcook the cereal: Cook it just until it is tender, but still has a little bit of a bite to it.
  • Use your favorite milk: Whole milk will give you a richer flavor, but you can use skim milk or almond milk if you prefer.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds are all great additions to Coco Puffs.

Coco Puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast cereal that the whole family will enjoy. They are also a good source of fiber and protein.
