🥐 CHOUX PASTRY
• ½ cup (120 mL) water
• ½ cup (120 mL) whole milk
• ½ cup (113 g) salted butter
• 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
🥥 COCONUT CUSTARD
• 2 cups (480 mL) coconut milk
• ¼ cup (50 g) white sugar
• 1 large egg + 2 large egg yolks
• ⅓ cup (67 g) white sugar
• ¼ cup (30 g) cornstarch
• 2 tbsp (28 g) butter
• 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
👨🏻🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
1️⃣ MAKE THE CHOUX – Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bring water, milk and butter to a boil. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously until a smooth dough forms. Cook another 2-3 minutes to gelatinize starches and remove excess moisture.
2️⃣ ADD EGGS – Cool dough for 5 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, adding the last gradually until smooth, glossy and thick enough to form a V shape when falling from your spatula.
3️⃣ SCOOP & BAKE – Use an ice cream scoop to portion 12 mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350°F (175°C) for another 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp. Don’t open the oven!
4️⃣ MAKE CUSTARD – Heat coconut milk with ¼ cup sugar until steaming. Separately whisk egg, yolks, remaining ⅓ cup sugar and cornstarch until smooth.
5️⃣ TEMPER – Slowly whisk hot coconut milk into egg mixture to gently raise its temperature without scrambling. Return everything to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly until thick and bubbling.
6️⃣ CHILL – Remove from heat and whisk in butter and vanilla. Transfer to a bowl and press plastic wrap directly against the custard to prevent a skin forming. Refrigerate until completely chilled.
7️⃣ FILL – Poke a small hole in each baked, cooled cream puff. Pipe in chilled coconut custard until generously filled. Dust with powdered sugar and ENJOY!
✨ TIP: Choux pastry rises from STEAM! Avoid opening the oven early or your beautiful puffs may collapse!

Angus, you’re on a roll with these pastries! I have a few odd questions. 1. Have you ever made the mini cream puffs and filled them with a savory filling like ham salad and served as an appetizer? I seem to have Julia Child memories of this. 2. What’s that green thing on the top of your apron? It looks to be a frog.
O M G 😍 💯 ❤
