Ingredients
  

Pastry Cream
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 4 large Egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons Ube extract
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Choux Pastry
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Equipment

  • saucepan
  • baking sheet
  • Piping Bag

Method
 

Pastry Cream Preparation
  1. In a saucepan, combine whole milk, heavy cream, egg yolks, ube extract, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly for about 10-12 minutes.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated. Allow the cream to cool while occasionally stirring to prevent a skin from forming.
Choux Pastry Preparation
  1. In a separate pot, combine all-purpose flour, water, whole milk, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the mixture forms a smooth ball, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Remove the dough from heat and let it cool slightly, around 5 minutes. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well until the dough is smooth and pipeable.
Baking and Filling
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe small rounds of dough onto the sheet, leaving space between each.
  2. Bake the cream puffs for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and feel hollow when tapped. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Once cooled, gently fill each puff with the prepared ube pastry cream, using a piping bag or a small spoon.
