This is a heavenly dessert for chocolate lovers, relates Kathy Kittell of Lenexa, Kansas. Each puff is stuffed with chocolate cream and drizzled with chocolate glaze. Ingredients:
1 cup water |
6 tablespoons butter |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 eggs |
filling: |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons baking cocoa |
glaze: |
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons water |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat until smooth.
2. Cover a baking sheet with foil; grease foil. Drop batter into six mounds onto foil. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 30 minutes longer. Remove puffs to a wire rack. Immediately cut a slit in each for steam to escape.
3. In a bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and cocoa, beating until almost stiff. Split puffs and remove soft dough. Add filling; replace tops. Melt chocolate and butter; stir in sugar and water. Drizzle over puffs. Chill. Yield: 6 servings.
