Made with Cooking Range Ivoire

makes 6 to 8

3 steps

Recipe Step by Step

01

CHOUX PASTRY

150g All-purpose flour
75g Salted butter
125ml Water
125ml Milk 
4 Medium eggs 
50g Sugar

Prepare the choux pastry: Heat the water, milk, butter and sugar in a saucepan.
Once the mixture is boiling, take the pan off the heat and pour in the flour all at once.
Mix well to make a very thick dough that comes away from the sides of the pan (if you need to, reheat the pan to help you).
Add the eggs to the dough one by one, mixing each one in thoroughly before you add the next.
Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Use a teaspoon or a piping bag to make small mounds of dough on a tray lined with baking paper.
Take the tray filled with crisp mixture out of the freezer. Use a cutter of the same size as the choux buns to cut up the crisp, and place the resulting disks on the buns.
Bake for approx. 20 minutes or until the choux buns are golden-brown and have fully expanded.
Leave to cool and make a hole in each one using the tip of a knife.
02

THINS (OPTIONAL)

90g All-purpose flour
90g Sugar 
75g Salted butter

Prepare the thins: Rub together the butter, sugar and flour with your fingertips.
Use a rolling pin to spread the resulting dough very thinly to a depth of 1mm between 2 sheets of baking paper. Freeze.
03

WHITE CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA WHIPPED GANACHE

240g IVOIRE 35%
320g Heavy cream 36%
1 beanNorohy Tahitian vanilla bean

Prepare the whipped ganache: Chop up the white chocolate and put it in a bowl.
Bring the cream to a boil, then gradually pour it over the chocolate, stirring all the while to create a smooth, even mixture. Leave to cool in the refrigerator.
