Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
How to Make Raspberry Cream Puffs
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, add the flour and salt all at once, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat.
- Allow the dough to cool slightly, then beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. The dough should be smooth and glossy.
- Spoon or pipe the dough into 12 equal mounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed up. Do not open the oven door while baking.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- While the puffs are cooling, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the puffs are completely cool, carefully cut a small slit in the side of each puff.
- Using a piping bag or small spoon, fill each puff with whipped cream.
- Drizzle raspberry jam over the filled puffs and top with fresh raspberries.
- Garnish with mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to let the dough cool slightly before adding eggs; this prevents cooking the eggs.
- Avoid opening the oven door while baking to ensure the puffs rise properly.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of almond extract to the cream.
- If you want a thicker cream filling, add more powdered sugar to taste.
Easy Variations
- Swap out raspberries for strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
- Add a layer of lemon curd along with the cream for a tart twist.
- Dust with cocoa powder instead of powdered sugar for a chocolatey vibe.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
- A cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea to balance the sweetness.
- A fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Chocolate sauce for drizzling on top of the puffs.

Raspberry Cream Puffs are best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To revive their crispness, you can briefly reheat them in a warm oven (not the microwave) for a few minutes. It’s best to fill them just before serving to keep the pastry from getting soggy.
