The recipe,
step by step

  1. 1

    Choux pastry

    Bring the water, milk, salt, sugar and butter to the boil. Add the flour and dry out the paste. Using a mixer, gradually add the eggs. Using a piping bag, fitted with a 1 cm diameter pastry nozzle, pipe a crown shape of choux paste onto the puff pastry that has been pricked with a fork. Pipe a zigzag shape of choux paste in the middle.   Pipe 1.5 cm diameter (4 g) choux balls onto a silicon mat. Sprinkle with icing sugar and bake in a fan-assisted oven at 180° C WITHOUT opening the oven door. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes.

  2. 2

    Caramel

    Make a caramel. Dip the choux balls in the caramel. Stick the choux balls onto the crown leaving one centimetre between each one. 

  3. 3

    Sublime cream

    Split and scrape the 2 vanilla beans into the Sublime Cream, add the sugar and whip. Pipe using a Saint-Honoré nozzle.
