Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for dusting)
How to Make Blueberry Cream Puff
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, combine the water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Allow the dough to cool for a few minutes. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each puff.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cream puffs are golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- While the puffs cool, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the cream puffs are cool, carefully slice them in half. Fill each puff with a generous spoonful of whipped cream and a handful of fresh blueberries.
- Replace the top of each puff and dust with cocoa powder before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to cool the dough slightly before adding the eggs to prevent them from cooking.
- Do not open the oven door while baking; this can cause the puffs to deflate.
- Use a piping bag for a neat filling of whipped cream and blueberries.
Easy Variations
- Substitute blueberries with raspberries or strawberries for a different fruity flavor.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to the whipped cream for a citrusy twist.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the tops for extra indulgence.
What to Serve With It
- A cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea.
- A scoop of vanilla or berry sorbet.
- A fruit salad for a refreshing side.
