Cream Puffs with Custard Filling: A Classic French Dessert You Can Make at Home
There’s something magical about cream puffs—crisp, golden shells of choux pastry that shatter at the touch, revealing a cloud-like interior filled with silky, vanilla-kissed custard. Though they look like a patisserie showstopper, they’re entirely achievable at home with no special tools and just one bowl.
This classic French dessert—known as profiteroles when filled—is light yet indulgent, and perfect for everything from afternoon tea to dinner party finales. And the best part? You only need 6 ingredients for the shells and 5 for the custard.
