Provided by Julie Klink

Categories     Desserts

Yield 10 cream puffs

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup dark chocolate, melted
½ cup unsalted butter, 1 stick
½ cup water
½ cup milk
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 egg, beaten, for egg wash
2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 small piping bag, or zip-top bag
2 large piping bags, or zip-top bags with standard round tips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Chill a large bowl in the freezer.
  • Add the melted chocolate to a small piping bag or zip-top bag and cut ⅛ inch (3 mm) off the tip of the bag.
  • Pipe 10 sets of ears, eyes, noses, mouths, and paws onto 1 of the parchment-lined baking sheets. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Make the puffs: in a medium pot, bring the butter, water, milk, sugar, and salt to a boil over high heat.
  • Once the liquid begins to boil, remove the pot from the heat and immediately add the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the liquid is absorbed and the mixture begins to form a ball.
  • Return the pot to the heat and cook for another 30 seconds to remove excess moisture. Remove the pot from the heat. Working quickly, add the eggs one at a time, stirring until each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue stirring until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and is thick and glossy. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or zip-top bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Pipe 1-inch (2-cm) dollops of batter on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 1-inch (2-cm) apart.
  • Dip a fingertip in the egg wash and gently press down any points, then brush the egg wash lightly all over the puffs.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C), and continue to bake for 20 minutes more, until golden brown.
  • Transfer the puffs to a wire rack and cool until able to handle. Cut the tops off of the puffs with a serrated knife. Let cool completely.
  • Make the whipped cream: add the heavy cream and powdered sugar to the chilled bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag or zip-top bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Pipe mounds of whipped cream into the puffs. Add the tops of the puffs and decorate with the chocolate faces.
  • Enjoy!

COCONUT CREAM PIE PUFFS RECIPE BY TASTY



Coconut Cream Pie Puffs Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: egg yolks, half & half, coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, sweetened coconut flakes, vanilla extract, unsalted butter, coconut milk, water, salt, flour, eggs

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 puffs

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 egg yolks
2 cups half & half
1 cup coconut milk
¾ cup sugar
⅓ cup cornstarch
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup coconut milk
½ cup water
1 pinch salt
1 cup flour
4 eggs, plus 1 more for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
  • To make the cream filling whisk together egg yolks, half and half, and coconut milk in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat.
  • Once combined, add in sugar and corn starch, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a light boil.
  • Remove from heat and mix in the shredded coconut and vanilla extract. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least two hours.
  • To make the puff, combine the butter, water, coconut milk, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Allow all the butter to melt and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • As soon as the mixture begins to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and add in the flour.
  • Using a wooden spoon, mix thoroughly to incorporate the flour. Continue stirring until the dough starts to pull away from the sides and a thin film forms on the bottom of the pan (about three minutes).
  • Remove the mixture from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Let the dough cool slightly.
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next.
  • Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a piping bag.
  • Pipe onto a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet into 1½-inch (3 cm) mounds.
  • Smooth out any peaks/ridges cause by piping with a wet fingertip (this will ensure your puffs cook evenly and maintain a nice ball shape).
  • Then brush the dough with egg wash and place in preheated oven.
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 425˚F (220°C). Then, without opening the oven, reduce heat to 350˚ (180˚C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Remove puffs from oven. Using the tip of a knife, cut a small "x" into the bottom of each puff and transfer ("x" side up) to a cooling rack.
  • Just before serving (or up to two hours in advance), pipe the cream filling into the cooled puffs. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Enjoy!

HOMEMADE COCONUT CREAM PIE

This coconut cream pie recipe features a thick and creamy coconut filling, crispy pie crust, sweet whipped cream, and toasted coconut. There are plenty of ways to make this coconut cream pie recipe ahead of time. See various steps.

Provided by Sally

Categories     Dessert

Time 6h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 unbaked flaky Pie Crust (what I used) or All Butter Pie Crust*
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch
1 (14 ounce) can full fat coconut milk*
1 cup (240ml) half-and-half
2/3 cup (130g) granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (80g) sweetened shredded coconut
2 Tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional: 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) cold heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
3 Tablespoons (20g) confectioners' sugar or granulated sugar*
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional for garnish: unsweetened coconut shavings, coconut chips, or sweetened shredded coconut*

Steps:

  • I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin making coconut cream pie. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before rolling out and blind baking (next step).
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Fully blind bake the pie crust. (Follow how to blind bake pie crust instructions through step 10. I skip the optional dough strip trick in step 4, though that trick guarantees thick pie crust edges.) Cool pie crust completely. You can do this up to 3 days ahead of time. Cover cooled crust tightly and refrigerate until ready to fill.
  • Whisk the egg yolks and cornstarch together. Set aside. Whisk the coconut milk, half-and-half, granulated sugar, and salt together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisking occasionally, bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then reduce temperature to medium-low heat. Once boiling, remove about 1/2 cup of the mixture and, in a slow and steady stream, whisk into the egg yolk and cornstarch mixture. Keep those egg yolks moving so they don't scramble. In a slow and steady stream, pour and whisk the egg yolk mixture into the pot.
  • The pudding will immediately begin to bubble and thicken. Stand back and use caution as the bubbles may burst. Whisk and cook for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut, butter, vanilla, and coconut extract (if using).
  • Pour warm filling into cooled pie crust. Cover tightly with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding (to prevent a skin from forming) and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight until chilled and thickened. Pie may be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
  • Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Medium peaks are between soft/loose peaks and stiff peaks and are the perfect consistency for topping and piping on desserts.
  • Pipe or spread the whipped cream on top. I used Ateco 849 piping tip to pipe. Garnish with extra coconut, if desired. Chill the pie uncovered up to a few hours or you can serve it immediately.
  • Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Tips for Making Coconut Cream Pie Puffs:

  • For a perfectly flaky crust, use cold butter and make sure to work it into the flour quickly and gently.
  • Roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness for the best results.
  • Use a sharp knife or pastry wheel to cut the dough into even squares.
  • Do not overfill the puffs, or they will burst in the oven.
  • Bake the puffs until they are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the puffs cool for a few minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Coconut cream pie puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their creamy coconut filling and flaky crust, these puffs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
