Directions

1. Step

In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 90 g sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the cornstarch and mix well. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring to ensure there are no lumps. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens.Remove from heat, cover with plastic wrap (touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and let it cool.

2. Step

In a saucepan, combine butter, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add the flour all at once, stirring continuously until the mixture forms a dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth. Transfer the dough into a piping bag, snip off the tip, and pipe small mounds onto a lined baking sheet.

3. Step

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.

4. Step

Transfer the cooled cream filling to a piping bag. Cut a small hole in each puff and fill with the cream.

5. Step

In a saucepan, melt the chocolate with vegetable oil until smooth. Dip or drizzle the filled puffs with the chocolate glaze.

6. Step

Place the chocolate-coated cream puffs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
