Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 70 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 2 eggs; 70 g (2.4 oz) sugar; 30 g (1.0 oz) cornstarch; 500 ml milk; 80 g (2.8 oz) butter; 1 tsp vanilla sugar; 160 g water; 80 g (2.8 oz) butter; 1/4 tsp salt; 1 tsp sugar; 120 g (4.2 oz) flour; 2–3 eggs; 100 g (3.5 oz) chocolate; 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions

1. Step

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Heat the milk in a saucepan until warm, then gradually add it to the egg mixture while stirring. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla sugar. Let it cool, then set aside.

2. Step

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, butter, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides. Transfer the dough to a bowl and let it cool slightly. Gradually add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and pipeable. Transfer the dough into a piping bag.

3. Step

Pipe the dough onto a lined baking sheet, creating your desired shapes or designs. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (338°F) for 40–45 minutes until golden and firm. Remove from the oven and poke two small holes at the bottom to allow steam to escape.

4. Step

Transfer the cooled cream filling into a piping bag and fill the baked pastries through the holes. Melt the chocolate and mix it with vegetable oil until smooth. Dip or drizzle the chocolate over the filled pastries. Allow the chocolate to set for 15 minutes before serving.
