What Tools Help Make These Mini Cream Puffs?

• Mini muffin pan
• Hand mixer/stand mixer

The Process

The process of making these cream puffs are completely different from traditional recipes, and I promise it’s easier than ever.

Puff Pastry

1. Mix eggs and heavy whipping cream until the mixture is slightly whipped.
2. Lightly grease the mini muffin pan and pour the egg mixture until it comes halfway up.
3. Bake them for 5 minutes or until the pastry is slightly golden.

Baking Tip

To avoid the pastry from deflating, do not open the oven while baking them. Once baked, leave the oven closed and cool the pastry inside.

Custard Filling

1. Mix heavy whipping cream, egg yolk, and erythritol in a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Microwave the mixture for 1 minute and mix well. Repeat microwaving the mixture for 30 seconds at a time and mix well until the mixture thickens*. (You can also heat the mixture in a pot on the stovetop.)

*Do not worry if the mixture looks runny. It will thicken up once it’s cooled.

3. Let the mixture thicken in a refrigerator.

Whipped Cream Filling

1. Whip heavy whipping cream and erythritol until stiff peaks form.

When all components are ready, assemble the puff pastries and creams. Optionally, you can dress them up with powdered erythritol.

Assembly Tip

Assembly the cream puffs right before serving. Cream puffs will be soggy quickly once the pastry gets filled with cream.
