Delicious Strawberry-Filled Pastries: Creamy & Tempting Treats
Ready to make some fancy AF strawberry mousse cream puffs, homie? Here we go!
These light, airy treats are the perfect vessel for heating up your summer with sweetness. I'm all about them fresh strawberries at the market, so let's whip up some mousse fillin' and take these cream puffs to the next level.
First things first, let's make the pastry puffs:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, melt some butter, milk, water, sugar, and salt. Then stir in flour until well combined and shiny.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl and let it cool. Add the eggs one by one, beating it up like a boss with a wooden spoon until smooth and glossy.
- Cut off a corner of a bag, pipe 12 (2-inch-wide) morning glory clouds onto the baking sheet, and bake until golden brown and airy.
Now, let's show those puffs some love with some strawberry mousse action:
- Soak some gelatin in water.
- Cook some strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice together until the berries fall apart, strain that bad boy, and whisk the gelatin into the strained strawberry goodness.
- Fold in whipped cream until you got a beautiful pink mouse.
- Cut the puffs in half, fill 'em up, and sprinkle some powdered sugar on top.
Pro tip: You can freeze those uncooked pastry puffs for up to 2 months. Just pipe, freeze, and bake straight from the freezer. Ain't that cool?
Just remember, yo: Life's too short to waste on boring desserts. These strawberry mousse cream puffs will spice up your summer or elevate your fancy brunch game. Enjoy it!
