Ingredients

Scale
  • 125g water
  • 125g whole milk
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 150g all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 200g heavy cream
  • 100g praline paste
  • 50g powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sliced almonds (for topping)
  • Additional powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the choux pastry: In a saucepan, combine water, milk, and butter; heat until boiling. Stir in flour and salt until a ball forms. Allow to cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth.
  2. Shape the pastry: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Use a piping bag to pipe two circles of dough on a baking sheet, forming a ring shape. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  3. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. Prepare the praline cream: Whip heavy cream in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form; fold in praline paste, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract gently until well combined.
  5. Assemble: Once cooled, slice the pastry in half horizontally and fill generously with praline cream mixture. Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.
