Categories     Desserts

Yield 30 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 cups milk
2 vanilla beans, scraped
18 egg yolks
2 ¼ cups sugar
¾ cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons butter
4 cups water
4 sticks butter
2 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons sugar
4 cups flour
12 eggs
egg wash
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
⅔ cup water
⅔ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a pot, heat the milk and vanilla bean pod and seeds over medium heat, bringing it to a boil. Once it begins to boil, turn off the heat and let steep for 15 minutes.
  • Using a hand mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the cornstarch and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Remove the vanilla bean pod from the milk. Add ½ cup (120 ml) of the milk to the egg yolk mixture and mix until well combined. Add the remaining milk mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
  • Over medium heat, whisk the mixture constantly until thickened, about 7-10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and add the butter, whisking to combine.
  • Strain the custard into a bowl to ensure a creamy custard (optional). Cover the custard with plastic wrap, making sure that the plastic touches the custard, and chill for at least 2 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
  • In a large pot, bring the water, butter, salt, and sugar to a boil over high heat.
  • Once the water begins to boil, remove the pot from the heat and immediately add the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the liquid is absorbed and the mixture begins to form a ball.
  • Return the pot to the heat and cook for another 30 seconds to remove excess moisture. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Working quickly, add the eggs, one at a time, stirring until fully incorporated. Continue stirring until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and is thick and glossy. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
  • Using a piping bag with a standard round tip, fill the bag with the batter.
  • Place 1-inch (2 cm) dollops on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spaced at least 1-inch (2 cm) apart.
  • Use a wet fingertip to gently press down any points on the puffs. Brush the egg wash over the the puffs.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375˚F (190˚C), and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Let puffs cool completely.
  • Use the bottom of a wooden skewer to create an opening in the bottom of the cream puff shells, just big enough for a piping tip to insert.
  • Fill a piping bag fitting with a small round tip with the custard. Gently fill the puff shells with the custard.
  • Add the sugar, corn syrup, and water to a pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and put the lid on, cooking for 5 minutes without moving. Remove the lid and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, until the caramel is a deep amber color and reaches 300˚F (150˚C).
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add the heavy cream, stirring vigorously.
  • Working quickly, dip the cream puffs into the caramel and arrange on a serving platter in a circular pattern.
  • Continue to stack caramel-dipped cream puffs in a tower shape.
  • Once your tower is completed, dip a fork into the caramel sauce and drizzle it around the tower.
  • Enjoy!

  • Start the dessert off by making the pastry cream first. Create the pastry cream by first warming the milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it’s hot, but not boiling.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the egg, egg yolk, and sugar together until thick and pale. Add the cornstarch and flour, and whisk again to combine. Pour 1/4 cup milk into the egg batter and whisk vigorously to combine. Slowly add the rest of the milk, continuing to whisk the mixture as you do.
  • Pour the mixture back into the saucepan, and continue to heat this mixture over medium-low heat. Whisk the entire time, and after about 5 to 7 minutes, you should see the cream really thicken up into a pudding-like consistency.
  • Take the cream off the heat. Add in the vanilla extract and whisk to combine. Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the pastry cream to prevent a filmy layer from forming. Refrigerate the pastry cream until chilled.
