More Cream Puffs & Durian Puffs

Here comes the durian season, we feasted on durians for the past 2 weeks, damn fattening and sinful.. haha, after indulging in the durians, we left some for durian for the puffs. In total, i made about 32 puffs. 16 for cream puffs and 16 for durian cream puffs.

Durian Cream Puffs (yield about 16nos.)



Choux Pastery - i use the same recipe from my previous post

Durian Fillings
200 or 250 ml of non-diary whipping cream
equivalent amount of durian pulps
10 gm of gelatine powder
3 tbsp of hot water to dissolve gelatine powder

Whip up whipping cream to a soft peak.
Add in durian pulps and melted gelatine powder and mix well.
Put fillings in a piping bag and pipe it out into the baked choux pastry. If you like, you can just spoon the fillings into the pastry too.
Dust the top of the pastry with some snow powder and leave it in fridge to chill before serving.
(If you leave it in freezer, it will taste like eating durian puffs ice-cream.)
