Puffs are a traditional French celebratory dessert, puffs symbolize happiness. The accumulation of puffs represents people's longing for happiness. The puffs are relatively small, and you can enjoy the wonderful taste of puffs in one bite.


Puffs come in a variety of flavors and shapes, the most common being the ball-like puffs, and the strip-shaped puffs. The filling of the puff is usually cream, and there are many changes now. For example, there are fruit cream puffs, mashed potato puffs, coffee cheese puffs, etc.


Among the many puffs, ice cream puffs are the most popular. The smoothness of the ice cream alternates with the crispness of the puffs, touching people's taste buds. Although the two have their own characteristics in taste, they are crunchy and icy, very delicious, and people can't help eating one after another. So let's see how this dish is made.


These ingredients are needed in the ice cream puffs:


60g low-gluten flour


45g unsalted butter


100ml milk


2 eggs


a pinch of salt and sugar


some moderate vanilla ice cream


1. Cut the butter into small pieces, add water, salt and caster sugar, heat until it boils and remove from heat.


2. Pour in the sifted flour at one time and stir quickly.


3. After mixing well, turn on the fire again, use medium heat to heat while stirring, and turn off the heat when a film appears on the bottom of the pot.


4. When it is not hot to the touch, pour in the whole egg mixture in 4 batches. (Be sure to stir every time before adding the next time)


5. The mixed batter is glossy, smooth and viscous. The scooped batter can form an inverted triangle shape when it slowly falls.


6. Put the batter into a piping bag.


7. Squeeze it onto the baking sheet with a piping nozzle, leaving a gap between the arrangement, because the puffs will expand.


8. Cut the puffs and put them into ice cream balls.


The puffs have a crispy crust, so it's best to fill them just before eating. Because if the filling is filled too early, the crust will absorb the moisture from the filling and become soggy.


The crispy crust, sweet but not greasy filling, and small appearance make the puffs very popular. This kind of small dessert with a strong French romantic atmosphere has already deeply conquered the taste buds of many people in the world. There is almost no pastry shop without puffs.
